To be here, you know, Hillary was here not so long ago. She had 20 people. I just asked the police chief…­–THE CROWD LAUGHS. “How many were [there] here?”.
 
“About 20”
 
And, I won't talk about the Republicans, but they were here and they had less than 20. We have a big crowd, and I appreciate it. People are still coming in. Amazing.
 
So we had a big day yesterday. Uh…yesterday was amazing, in every way. We had…uh…Sarah came along and she said, “we love…what's happening”. It's a movement! And no matter where we go, it's a movement.
 
And right now, we're leaving…as soon as I'm finished, we're going to Oklahoma, and we're gonna have anywhere from 15,000 to 20,000 people in Oklahoma. Uh…the place is packed! We're gonna be turning away people, unfortunately. That's one of the problems of the indoor. Last time we went to Oklahoma, we had 20,000 people, at least, outside. You know, outside, you can have as many as you want. Inside, it's a little bit tougher, right? It's a little bit tougher.
 
But no matter where we go, we went to Dallas, we had 20,000 people. Mobile, Alabama, we had 35,000. Everywhere in Iowa we're packed. Everywhere in New Hampshire. Everywhere in South Carolina. Everywhere we go, we're packed! It's just determined by the size of the room. So, I just wanna thank you all. It's early, I know, and it's a little bit cool outside, right? …­–THE CROWD CHEERS.
 
We're going through a little bit of a cool spell. I don't know despite global warming, it's awfully cold in these different places. It is really cold! …­–THE CROWD CHEERS.
 
I never thought of Iowa…you know, I'm here so much, and I never thought of Iowa with such cold weather. But, we're having a little bit of a cold spell. Don't we love it? We love it, right?
 
So I just wanna thank you all for being here, and we're gonna have a tremendous…uh…I think we're gonna have a tremendous…–A MEMBER OF THE CROWD YELLS ‘WE LOVE YOU!’–…oh,  thank you, darling. Thank you. I love your hat too, ‘make America great again’. Make…make America great again. Thank you. Wow, I like that! Wow! That's great. Look at her! She's a fan! I know one thing, on February 1st, she's out at the caucus. There's no question about that! She is gonnacaucus…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Uh…by the way, speaking of that, you have to get out, February 1st, because otherwise…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE–…okay. Good, thank you. Good! February 1st, [it’s] so important. Otherwise, honestly, we're just wasting our time! You know, it's wonderful. You'll hear me speak for a little while, and all that. We're all wasting our time.
 
Somebody called, a major, major reporter, a great reporter, actually! On…a…very liberal, in this case, and that's okay. They could be good too. They're…putting their…point of view. But the question was, “how does it feel?”
 
I said, “how does what feel?”
 
“How does it feel?”. Because this was about four months ago, ‘the summer of Trump’, they called it, right? And probably, they thought that that would be the end, and then would fade into oblivion. You know, they've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting! And we keep going higher, and higher, and higher! And…now they're not waiting so much anymore. That's the good news. They've been with me a long time, these people back there. We've been suffering together. The reporters, we suffered together. I call them, untruthful and they sort of just take it, and…actually, it doesn't hurt them because, you know, the truth sometimes they understand it. But we've had a hard time with them. But some are…actually, some are very good, about 25 percent. Tops! Tops! …­–THE CROWD LAUGHS. But we've been together now for a long time.
 
But…but, you know, it's…uh…interesting. So, this reporter called, “‘The summer of Trump’. How does it feel?”.
 
I said, “it doesn't feel like anything! Uh…what…what’s…to feel?”.
 
He said, “you've done something that nobody has ever done before. What's happening here in terms of what's happened with…you know, with…even concept, with the way to run a campaign”. Because if you look at what I've done…; I mean now, I'm spending money, but I've spent no money! Practically, no money. And a guy like Bush spent 79 million dollars, up to 79 million, maybe even over 80 million dollars. And he's down here, at the bottom, and I'm at the top! And I said, “wouldn't it be great if we could do that with our country, where we spent less money than anybody else and have the best product?”. You know, it’d be really…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…it would be really…no, wouldn't that be great?
 
But he said, “how does it feel?”.
 
And I said, “it doesn't feel anything”.
 
He says, “no, you don't understand. Uh...even if you don't win…”, which I don't like to hear, “…even if you don't win, what you've done has never been done before!”.
 
I said, “let me tell you something: if I don't win, I've wasted my time”. That's the way I view it! You know, maybe they'll say, “hey, Trump ran a good campaign”. Who cares!? [It] Doesn't mean anything to me. I guess I'll go back to building buildings and things, right? I do a good job with it. But…and employing a lot of people! 
 
But he said that and I said, “no, you don't understand. It really…if I don't win…if I don't win, it's a whole…different…ballgame. It means nothing! Everything I've done, everything my incredible people have done with Hope, and Corey, and Tanner, and everybody; and Chuck, and Sam…honestly, it doesn't mean anything…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.It doesn't mean anything. So, we wanna get in, and we wanna win.
 
And when I say ‘win’, we gotta win here! And if we can win here, we're gonna run the table. I tell you, but…we're gonna talk about that in a second. But when I talk to the reporter, I meant win…for President, because if we don't win for President…! Even if…I won the nomination and didn't win, I would consider that…a major loss. And…other we…people would say, “oh, what a great campaign”.[MGF1] 
 
Not a great campaign. Because the only way we can really do real change, not Obama change…[do you] remember? ‘Change’. We got change, all right. Ay…! …­–THE LAUGHS. I know the farmers got real change. They can't…they can't plow! They can't do anything now, with the water problems, and the…the puddles that go, and they call them a lake! You know, it's considered a lake. A puddle forms on your land it's four feet by four feet, “oh, that's considered a lake. You can't touch it. This is this…is reserved, the water”.
Uh…I mean, what you're going through, and what everybody is going through with regulations…and everything! I mean, look, everything! Everything you look at, all of that's gonna be gone, and we're gonna go back to being a healthy, strong, beautiful…and…and beautifully run nation again…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [It’s] So important.
 
So…uh…, so we're gonna go out, and I just wanna say: so February 1st, you've gotta get out there! You've gotta bring your friends, and…I…I joke, and I kid. If you don't feel well, no matter what's happening, if you have the worst day of your life…it doesn't matter! You have to get out there. You have to caucus. And…uh…we're gonna bring it home! I mean ideally, we're gonnabring it home.
 
I'll tell you how important Iowa is, though. And I…I've been saying this more and more as we get to the finish line. Can you believe it? We're almost at the finish line. February 1st, the big day. You started it all. But I've been saying it more and more. If we can win Iowa, which is, by the way, the only state in the union where I'm close! Everyone else…Florida just came down, a little while ago, [it] was on Morning Joe, and the different newscasts…; [it] just came down a little while ago! And, 48…48 percent…in Florida. And you have a sitting…uh…senator, and he was at I think 11, or 12. And you have a governor, if…that a former Governor, Bush who spends a lot of money…­–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. You’ve Bush, and he was less than that! I mean, it's amazing! And people couldn't believe it. They said, “there must be a mistake”.
 
You know, 48 percent. Florida is a very big…you know, [a] very important state…­–THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY–…not only in terms of this! Somebody is from Florida over there, somebody loves Florida. But…I love Florida! But…and I have a lot of…investment in Florida. Big investments in Florida! I employ…thousands of people in Florida! But Florida is a special place, but very big, very powerful and very important in terms of the process. And I have this…massive lead in Florida that everybody was saying, “wow, that has to be…!”. They actually thought it was a mistake when it went up. They thought the poll was a mistake, 48! So, and I'm doing…I'm doing great all over.
 
If we can do well in Iowa, we're gonna run the table! If not, then I have to go and we gotta win New Hampshire. Now, New Hampshire has…has been really strong. But they say bad psychological things happen if you lose, okay? And they're really putting more pressure on, because they're saying, “especially if Trump loses, cause he always talks about ‘winning, winning, winning!’. And if he loses Iowa, that would be a terrible thing…!”, the press.
 
And…so, I don't know what the impact is. But I can tell you this: I think we're…going to win. It's probably our closest state, and…I think we're going to win Iowa. And it would be a lot easier if I said, “no, I just wanna do well. Good luck everybody on the first. If you're…busy or something, don't bother”. You to go out and caucus! Because if you can win…and if we can win together, if we can win Iowa, the signal…; it’s all…I…look, I'm not gonna say anything is over; and even the biggest pundits…even my…the…the worst…liars, and you know, some guys had said, “we're never gonna run…!”. And…“even if he ran, he's just gonna have a good time…”. 
 
Not a good time! I mean, I love you people but I could be someplace else right now, okay!? …­–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I could be very happy being someplace else! But if we…and, really. And…they say it! If we…win Iowa, we're gonna run the table! We may not lose a state, because it's just gonna feed. Iowa is very important.
 
And one other thing with Iowa. You know, there's a lot of talk about moving Iowa to the middle of the pack or even the back of the pack. [It’s] Not gonna happen if I get elected. It won't happen. There's an incredible tradition. I've…I’ve developed so many friends. You know, I've been here for a lot! I’ve…I've come…a lot, and I'm gonna be here all next week. You're gonna be so sick of me…! You're gonna get sick! You're gonna say, get the hell out of here Trump! Don't worry about it! You're gonnawin…!”…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND YELLS ‘NO!’, ‘WE LOVE YOU!’. We don't wanna take any chances!
 
You know, one of the reasons…I said that I spent very little money, but now I'm spending money. For two reasons: number one, I feel guilty, because I'm like 35 million, [or] 38 million dollars under budget. I just was gonna spend a lot of money, but I've had so much airtime [that] I haven't had to spend any money, so it's sort of interesting! …­–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. No, it's true! You know, they give me so much television airtime…! I'm on all the time!
 
Can you imagine? They have this report, that report, that report…all on Trump. Then they have a commercial. Now I have a…if I have a Trump commercial, then they go back to Trump! The whole show plus the commercials! …­–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I say, “if I put commercials on, they're gonna O.D. ­…–OVERDOSE–…on Trump, it's no good! It's no good”. So, anyway!
 
But we're gonna put them on now, because I feel guilty. I really do. I haven't run…commercials! And, so I just started, with some good ones, I think. Who knows. But, we have a couple of commercials going up. [It’s a] Lot of money.
 
And the other reason is, I'm so far under budget…[that], I really feel I don't wanna take a chance. Does that make sense? In other words, I feel confident. The polls are all saying we're leading nationwide by a tremendous amount. I don't wanna take a chance! I don't wanna be cute. “Oh, I don't have to spend. I don't have to spend”. So, I'm not taking a chance, and we're spending some good money. We…you're gonna see some good commercials going up very shortly. In fact, they're already up in Iowa. Some of you have probably seen them. Are they good? I think [they’re] pretty good, right? …­–THE CROWD APPLAUDS. I think they're pretty good.
 
So, uh…Iowa is so important because…it…by doing that, we're sending a signal! And that's why I wanna win it. I don't wannalose by two votes where they say, “well, Trump came in second and that's okay”. Winning would be so incredible!
 
Look at these people…–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO HIS RIGHT. HE REFERES TO THE CAMERAS, THE MEDIA–…they don't stop. No matter where you go…­–THE CROWD LAUGHS–…no matter where you go, they don't stop. Would you like me to stand up against it? No what…no matter…it doesn't matter! I can't lose them! Look at them, the paparazzi! …­–THE CROWD LAUGHS. Look at them! I don't even know what the hell they do with all the pictures. They're taking pictures all day long. Then you see one picture in a newspaper. You say, all that work for one picture? Anyway…! But they're good. They're…they’re…very good. Hey look, we're all doing our thing, right? They're doing their thing. You're doing…[your thing], we're all doing our thing. But the one thing we all have in common…including them, by the way, is we wanna make…America great again. We really do. We really do…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
The polls that…have come out…and I love talking about polls. It’s my favorite subject, actually. As long as I'm number one. If I was number two…? And I always get killed on the polls, cause the other candidates come up to me, “why do you always mention polls?”. Cause I'm number one. And if you were number one you'd be mentioning them too.[MGF2] 
 
But I think I brought polls to a whole new art, and a whole new level! I don't think other people, even if they were number one used to talk about them, you know. But I'm different. I'm a little bit different. I talk about them because when you're number one, you talk about. Okay, ready?
 
So we have a…a new poll came out, NBC News National, 38 for Trump! [The] Second place is Cruz in this one, 21. 38-21. And…uh…the third is Rubio, at 11.
 
Uh…in South Carolina, we're way, way, way, way above everybody! I mean, it's been incredible. Reuters has us at 41 percent. Gravis has us at 41 percent…wow!
 
Florida, I just saw…you have this…just the one that just came out has us at 48 percent! …­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Georgia, we're in the mid 30s, and probably the low 40s, cause I saw one.
 
In Connecticut, we're 35 percent, meaning we're 35, [and] other guys are at 12, and 10, and 8, and 2, and…one…nothing! …­–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. They are…some guys are at nothing! …­–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. And I see them on television, “yes, we'll never leave the race”.
 
You know they're leaving the race right away, right!? …­–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. I watch these politicians. I watch a couple of politicians. He as at one or two, and…he said, “no, I will never leave the race”. You know, he's already planning! His people are already calling, “could you you hire us, please!?”. And, it's one of those…they're politicians! That's what they do, they talk. All talk, no action. And that's what we don't need. You know…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…that's what we don't need.
 
In Iowa, we have a great CNN poll. I told…the other day, I said, “why don't they ever use the CNN poll?”. Even CNN doesn't use the CNN poll, because it's too good. Trump 33 percent, Cruz is second at 20. So I'm up by 13 points. Nobody ever uses it! So CNNreports it, and they show other people's polls, where it’s closer! I said, “could I ask you…?”; and by the way, they spent a lot of money on this poll And I think their poll is probably better. And I think it's more indicative. I think, we might even be better than that!
 
I said, “why are you not using the poll that says 33 to 20!? Why are you using one that says 21 to 20…and this and that!?”. And they have no answer. You can't answer! You know what the answer is! It's really unfair stuff. It's called welcome to the world of Trump, or welcome to the world of being a conservative Republican, or…welcome to whatever world it is! But here they are, they pay for their own poll, and they don't put it up! So, it's a little bit unfair but these are minor details, folks.[MGF3] 
 
I wanna just…uh…so the polls are…looking good, and everything is looking good, and it's so important. And…uh…and I stayed here last night, and actually had good steak. You have good steak, and I've always heard that, you know? …­–THE CROWD CHEERS. I had good steak last night. I mean, you should have! If you don't have a good steak, who's gonna have good steak!?…­–THE CROWD LAUGHS. If they don't have good steak in Iowa, we have some problems, right!? But you do! And…uh…it was…it was great.
 
I wanna just say, though, and I said it a little, and I alluded it…I alluded to it. Sarah mentioned it yesterday. Sarah Palin came in, and she was so great! She was so great yesterday, and so popular! And…amazing, actually! And, everybody wanted her endorsement. And she just saw what was happening! She said, “you've got a movement!”. This is a movement going on! This is beyond what a normal situation is. And seriously, I mean, they were telling me. When some of these other candidates have like nine people, and 20 people come in. 
 
And…even for Hillary, she had very, very few people coming in. And, you know, you look at a crowd like this. And…uh…it's early in the morning and, all of that. And, uh…you know, it's…something is happening out there, something really special. You know, they used to call it ‘the silent majority’. And I'm not…I used to say, ‘we’re the silent majority’. I resurrected the term. Some people didn't like that term, because it was associated with…Nixon, or it was associated with something. And, I don't even care! I mean, it's just [a] great term. But, it's not really accurate! Because the accurate is ‘the noisy majority’. We're really…I mean, you have to see these people, they go crazy! We go into stadiums, and they wanna rip down the stadium sometimes! It's amazing! And it's really become ‘the noisy majority’, and that's what we have.
 
We have an amazing group of people that wanna…just see this country get great, and be strong and be smart…and not be ripped off with trade, and not be ripped off with so many different things. I mean, you look at China…505…billion dollars, we have a trade deficit! A deficit! What they get, what we get. 505…billion…dollars…a year! This isn't like in 20 years. This is…a year. It goes on, it goes on….;
 
And I have some of the great business leaders endorse me, like Carl Icahn endorsed me, who's a…fantastic guy, and a fantastic business leader. And, when he endorsed me…I mean, a lot of other business leaders also wanna endorse me. [The] Problem is nobody ever heard of them! But I'm gonna use them! They don’t have…I said, “you don't have to endorse me! What difference does it make? Nobody knows who you are”. The guy could be worth 5 billion bucks, nobody cares! You know, it's amazing! But, they're great negotiators. And they wanna do great things for the country!
 
And right now…uh…you know, take China as…and I've been talking about China for years! You know, nobody…knows how to negotiate with these people. I made a lot of money with China, and dealing with China. And, I own a major building in California, along with a group, that's a phenomenal building, the Bank of America building in San Francisco; and…1290 Avenue of the Americas, a big chunk of that.
 
And…and, you know, dealing with Chinese! And…and he…know how to deal! I mean, I sell condos to the Chinese a lot. Uh…I have them as tenants. The biggest bank in the world is a tenant of mine, at one of my buildings. And they pay me rent! And they're great….! I mean, the Chinese are great people! And the Mexicans are great people! But their leaders are too smart for our leaders. They're too cunning! They're too cunning! They're Cunning, they're smart! They…they…toy with us, like we're a bunch of dopes! They toy with us! They think everybody is like Obama! They toy…no, it's true! …­–THE CROWD LAUGHS. No, it's true! I mean they toy with us. And that won't happen anymore, folks. That won't happen. It's not gonna happen…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
No, it's disgusting when you see…you know, when you see the trade deficits that we have with Mexico. Every one of these politicians come up, “you won't be able to build a wall”. 
 
Why? Explain to me why?
 
“Well, who's gonna…!?”.
 
I said, number one, “the wall is gonna be paid for by…? …–SOME MEMBERS IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’­–…correct! He knows. This guy knows…­–THE CROWD LAUGHS. It's gonna be paid for by Mexico.
 
So, the politicians come up [and] say, “why do you always say that?”. You know…you know, the guys that I'm negotiating…the guys that I'm dealing with…!
 
How good did I do in the debate last time, good? …­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Huh? You know, I've never done this stuff before! But they all said I won the debate. Even the people that hate me back there…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS–…even the pundits! You know, every…every debate, I've won with the polls. You know, they do the polls.Drudge, who’s an amazing guy, by the way. You have Drudge, and you have all these…different polls, Time Magazine, and…Slate, and PBS. And I win…you know, almost all of them, and…on the debate. And I'll get 40 percent, 50, 60, 70 percent! Who's gonna win…who won the debate? You know, it's a lot when you've 14, 15 people up there, and you get 70 percent. But I get a lot. And I've done well!
 
But this last debate, for some reason, even the pundits finally broke down and they said, “Trump won”. It's nice, okay? [It] Took him a while. [It] took them a while.
 
And now we have another debate coming up. I hope I get treated fairly. [There are] Some people on that debate stage that I don't know if they'll treat me fairly, but we'll see. But I hope…uh…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘THEY WON’T–…they won't? I don't think they will either, frankly…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. No, we have some people up there that…uh…will…we're gonna to find out whether or not they treat fairly. I'll be prepared. Believe me, I'll be prepared.
 
But, we're gonna find out. And I think…uh…I think it's important, for…actually, for them as professionals that they treat me fairly. I don't wanna be treated any better, but I have to be treated fairly. I thought I was not treated fairly in a couple of instances.
 
But nevertheless, we came out fine. We came out really good. [It’s] Sort of interesting [that] after the debates, the poll goes up. You know, my big polls go up. After the last debate, my poll went up 11 points! …–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
 
Now…you know, I also brought up some pretty big security measures in all fairness, so maybe that had to do with it. You know what I'm talking about. But, that was important. And now we have a dialogue going. The world is having a dialogue because of what I brought up: radical…Islamic…terrorism? We mentioned it…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…and the world is in dialogue now! The world is talking about it.
 
But we have a president that won't mention the terms! I mean, they won't even…he won't mention what's going on! When a building is blown up; when people are killed in Paris…; when people are killed in…California; when…when…uh…five great, great…uh…soldiers are killed because they're told to stand down with their guns, to take their guns off, and put them 100 yards away…and lock them up. And, then they go have coffee and a whack job…; You know, when they see…when they see ‘gun free zone’…these wacky job…they're just wackos. When they see ‘gun free zone’, that's like holding candy for a baby okay!? Gun free zone!
 
By the way, I'm gonna protect your Second Amendment, 100 percent! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. 100 percent.
 
If we had…if we had guns in California…? Or even…you know, take a look at Paris, the toughest gun laws in the world. The toughest, they say, in the world, Paris! You can't have a gun in Paris. Unless you're a bad guy, you put a gun in your pocket, you have a gun, all right!? But you can't have a gun in Paris. In France, the toughest gun laws! 
 
So you had these guys, these thugs…these thugs! The press…you know the name the press called them, right? We don't call them that anymore. We call them ‘the guy with a dirty hat’. These are stupid people, and these are…disgusting people, right? These are disgusting…; they call them ‘the mastermind’, [to] the leader, ‘the mastermind’. And I took the press to task. I haven't heard…I must tell you, I have been hitting them so hard about it…; because, you know, they’re…they're radicalizing…our children! They're using the Internet better than us, and we're the people that invented, the land that invented the Internet, and they're using it better than us.
 
They're radicalizing our children online. And they're going around, the press, calling the ‘mastermind, the mastermind’! “The mastermind did this and that…!”. 
 
And I'm saying to myself, “why are they calling them a ‘mastermind’? Why would anybody call them mastermind? You're building them up! You're building up the image, Robin Hood. You know, you're building up the image. And, I'll tell you what, honestly? The press has pretty much stopped! It's been very interesting. The press is very stopped.
[MGF4] 
How come you're aiming those cameras over there, what's over there? …–MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES THE QUESTION TO THE CAMERAS OR THE CROWD–…just curious. Huh? Why are you aiming over there? Huh? Okay. Cutaways, it’s okay…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. Cutaways. It's the first time I've ever seen that happen. No, I'm trying to figure. You know my story, right? They never aim the cameras at the room. I can…I'm in a stadium, with 20,000 people, [and] my wife keeps saying,” but you…you…don't know! I mean, how many people were there?”.
 
I said, “like 20,000, where the Mavericks, the Dallas Mavericks play! 20,000…!”. She had no idea because they never…they never do cutaways. Now he does a cutaway. And he's aiming in that little corner in the back of the room…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I can imagine. I can imagine.
 
Why did you do a cutaway over there just out of curiosity? …–MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES THE QUESTION TO THE CAMERAS OR THE CROWD AGAIN. Huh? He can't…he can't tell you. Yeah, he can't tell you. I can tell you why, I tell you, these people are the worst! They are the worst…–THE CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS. They are…they are…they’re just disgusting! They're disgusting people! [MGF5] So anyways.
 
So, uhm…isn't it really terrible though? It's really terrible…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. And you know, the one thing that's never…I'll call them out. Other people, they just sit there, they don't call. They don't call anybody out, but we call them out…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They're really…they're really dishonest people. Really, really dishonest and disgusting people…–THE CROWD LAUGHS.[MGF6] 
 
So…so, we're out there, and…and we will…I will tell you, we will do things that nobody else can do. And when they say, “but Mexico can't pay for the walls”;
 
I say, “of course, they can”. We have a trade deficit with Mexico that's…unbelievably…big! Humongous, it's a humongous number! It's billions and billions of dollars, far more than what we're talking about for the wall. The wall is peanuts compared to that! But they don't understand that, because they're politicians, they’re not business people. Mexico will pay for the wall, okay!? One way the other. There's five different ways they can pay. One of those five, or all of them. We’ll take…you know, we will…we will not be paying for that wall, but the wall is gonna be built fast!
 
And we're gonna be getting some people. You know, a lot of the gangs, you look at Los Angeles, and some of these places, they have gangs where they're made up of illegal immigrants, okay? They're made up of illegal immigrants! Mexico doesn't want them. So, they send them to us, cause we take everybody. We're so brilliant, we're so wonderful, we take everybody!
 
Even the anchor baby stuff. A woman is pregnant, she walks onto the land, she has the baby; here, we take care of the baby now. [The baby] becomes a person…becomes a person…and, you know, [it] grows up, and beautiful, and…the babies here, [it’s a] beautiful baby…; now we take care of the baby for 85 years, okay? It doesn't read that way!
 
And [do] remember when I first came out and said that? I turned out to be right, because the legal scholars say, “you're right!”. You can't come over illegally, have a baby, and we're supposed to take care of it! I mean, if anything else, I've proven that!
 
Now, somebody will challenge it; somebody will go to court; but…it…that's the way it reads! You may need a raise of the hands of Congress, but they were all saying, “you need a major constitutional amendment, which would take forever to get; and all those things are like impossible to get because of the process…”.
 
I said, “wait a minute, you don't need a constitutional amendment. You can't come in, have a baby, and then the baby…we're supposed to take care of that baby for the rest…and the baby is…like you can't do anything!”. It's nonsense! Well, now, the great legal scholars, the real legal scholars are saying, “Trump is right”, okay? “Trump is right”. And…–THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY–…you know; and I’m very good! When it comes to the law…I’ll tell you, I've been through plenty of law.
 
And you know, speaking of law: Ted! Do we all like Ted Cruz? I like him! I think he's a nice guy…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’–…no? You don't like him? All right. He’s…look, he's fine…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘HE’S TWO-FACED!’–…he's two-faced! A lot of people don't like him. A lot of people don't like him, frankly.
 
But look, Ted Cruz has a problem! He's got a problem! He was born in Canada. He was…he's a Canadian citizen, until just recently! Canadian citizen! And he's running for president. And, a lot of lawyers, and you've been seeing him on television, [and] you've been reading about him in the papers. A lot of people are saying, he's not allowed to run for president! Because he wasn't born on the land!
 
You know, natural born citizen! This is a real question, as to what that definition is! And, some of the best lawyers in the country, some of the biggest lawyer, Laurence Tribe of Harvard, and others say, it's ‘unsettled law’! It's totally unsettled.
 
And, honestly? Ted has a problem! Cause how can you have…let's say, you have him as a candidate, and he's running. And then you find out you lose in court, you don't have a candidate all of a sudden! Or let's say even worse, let's say, he wins, and…the courts say that he's not allowed to run! I mean, you've gotta find out!
 
So, you go for declaratory judgment. You go into the courts, but he actually has to go in…to the courts! Now, I understand he was sued…recently, over the last couple of days. In fact, I understand there are two lawsuits out there. But there will be more! The Democrats will sue! If they're gonna run again, they're not gonna sue now! They'll take their time. But at the right time, just as sure as you're standing here…sorry, we couldn't give you a seat, there's too many people. Sorry about that.
 
But just as…uh…you know, just like you're standing here, the Democrats are gonna sue! So, how can you be…running…with a cloud over your head!?
 
Now, Hillary is running with a cloud over her head too! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS. It’s called…you know, what the cloud is, right? …–THE CROWD YELLS INDISTINCTIVELY–…he says it's called ‘indictment’. Well, no. I mean, what she's done is…unbelievable, that she's getting away with this! I think, personally, I think they're protecting her, and they're gonna continue to protect her. A lot of people say that's impossible. Because she broke the law so much worse…than…anybody else! I mean, there's never been anything like this!
 
Look at General Petraeus, what that…man has gone through. And now they wanna take away his title! And I would say this: leave him alone, okay? Right!? Leave Petraeus alone! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have other problems. We have ISIS. Focus on ISIS! Don't focus on Petraeus. No, they wanna reduce him in rank.
 
I…I think he's suffered enough. But look at the way he suffered. And by the way, I mean that: leave him alone. Don't reduce his rank! Just leave him alone! What that guy has gone through…; he made a mistake, leave him alone!
 
But, what he's going through, and what others have gone through…and Hillary is just looking like she's sailing in! Now, she might not win of…her own volition. I don't know, she's…not doing very well. But on the assumption [that] she won, I don't know how you can run for president! But, she has a different kind of a problem, but he's got a problem of uncertainty! You just don't know. I mean, you just…don't…know!
 
So let's see what happens with Cruz but, it's very hard to let somebody…go through a whole long process, and at the end of the process, should he win, they're gonna get…be suing him, just like he's already being sued.
 
And the fact is, he was born in Canada, and he was a Canadian citizen! I mean, that's…big stuff! And that's…you're talking about 15 months ago! He was, actually, a Canadian citizen…if you think about this, he was a Canadian citizen while he was a United States senator! He was a joint citizen of the United States and Canada, but how do you do that!?
 
And he said he didn't know about it, which is interesting. He didn't know about it! So, I…I don't think…I don't think you can have a situation where…“gee, I didn't know about it”.
 
Then in his…papers, you know, his…financial applications, it's a very, very strict, very…he didn't put in a couple of minor things! He said he was gonna sell assets to run for the Senate, and…all of this. Well, that's not what he did! He borrowed money from Goldman Sachs, and he borrowed money from Citibank! So it came out a week ago, a little while ago, that he borrowed money from Goldman Sachs, but nobody knew about Citibank. Then he came out that he borrowed money. He never put it in his…personal…financial…disclosure…form. That's a big no, no!
 
If I did that, can you imagine the headlines of me!? I have billions and billions of dollars of stuff. I put in almost 100 pages…every reporter back there, they've gone over every word. It…I mean, you haven't heard anything. I mean, I've…professional people doing it But you haven't…I guess, I got the right professional people, cause believe me, if there was two cents worth of mistake…? I have nothing but…you know, newspaper headlines.
 
But I put in almost a hundred…the largest…personal…financial…statement ever…ever…written, ever done! Almost 100 pages, and it's fine! You know, it's fine! It's gone over by everybody, and it's fine.
 
Here's a guy with…with two bank loans uh…that…that we know of! But the problem is, he didn't do it purposely, because…what he wanted to do is say, “I will protect you from Goldman Sachs! I will pro…protect you from Citibank! And I will protect you, for the base. Cause I'm Robin Hood! And I'm this wonderful senator, and I'm gonna protect you for these banks…!”. And then he's borrowing from the banks!
 
And by the way, he's got personal guarantees! And he got low interest loans! [He’s] Got low interest loans, at low interest! And now he's gonna go after Goldman Sachs?  [It] Doesn't work that way! Goldman Sachs owns him! Remember that, folks. They own him! 
 
And what he did was wrong, because he didn't want you to know…that he's dealing with banks, that he's borrowing money with banks, that he's personally guaranteeing loans with banks; because if he puts him down, then he's just like all the other guys! Okay? It's wrong! It's wrong. It's really wrong! And you can say what you want, but it's absolutely wrong!
 
So he's got a double problem. He's got that problem, because it was just revealed! And now everybody is saying, “oh, I thought he was trying to protect us!”. Well, what's he gonna to do? Be rough on Goldman Sachs when he has a personal guarantee for like…whatever the number was, a million dollars?
 
So, I think you've gotta think about that. I think you've gotta think about that. [Do] You agree with it? A lot of people don't know that, but it just came out. I mean, it just came out!
 
And he said, with the…with the…being a Canadian citizen, he said, “oh, I didn't know that!”. How did he not know that? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIDMILY .Then he said, with the loans, “oh! I didn't know that!”. [He’s a] Smart guy. He doesn't know that? Yeah, that's worse than Hillary when you think about it…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. So anyways.
 
So, I think we gotta get a little bit…you know, fair in here, cause he says things about me that is so wrong. I mean, he says things, takes…ads, and says things about me that is so wrong…! I mean, we have to disclose…the real facts. And these are facts! These aren't like, “oh gee, this didn't…!”. This is like, he didn't…put down…on his personal…financial…disclosure form. [It’s] Very strong, that signature on the bottom. You sign that…you've got problems if you make mistakes.
 
He didn't put down…two big banks loaning him money! Because he didn't want you to see that, okay? That's a problem, okay? That's a problem! And…I think when you go to caucus, you should think about that problem, okay? You should think about it.
 
And the other thing, of course, is you have a great governor in this state. Terry Branstad came out yesterday and he said, [that] you can't have…you can't have Cruz. You can't have Cruz…–THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. And, I understand what he's saying. I understand exactly what he's saying. And I think it has to do with more than ethanol. 
 
Uhm…I think it has to do with maybe other things too. It's a strong statement. You have a great governor. You know, he’s the longest serving governor in the history…of the United States, as of a couple of months ago…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And when I was with him, I really like him. I…I think he's smart, and he's amazing, and he loves the people of Iowa. I really like him. And he says he's not endorsing anybody, and I think that's great. But to…for him to come out with that statement…that was a big statement to come out with yesterday. Yesterday it was a double, you had that statement, you had Sarah Palin. That was…that was a good day for Trump! And……–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
But the governor is doing the right thing! You know, he's the go…he's a governor that's gonna do the right thing! You know, a lot of people do everything for politics. He doesn't do it for politics. He's beyond it. And, he does what is the right thing! So, he's an amazing guy, I can tell you that.
 
So, we've gotta keep him elected for a long time to come, folks, right? We wanna have him…let him…let him double up his record, but it's an amazing record. Think of it, in the history of the United States, he's the longest serving governor. In the history of the United States, that's a lot!
 
So, we are going to…do tremendous things. We're gonna work hard on trade. I'm gonna get the smartest, the best, the greatest people in the world. We're gonna work really, really hard on trade. We're gonna work really, really hard on everything. And when we work hard, we get it done! We're gonna get the best people! We're gonna…make the best deals!
 
I joke sometimes. I go, “we're gonna win, and we're gonna win again, and again, and again, and you're gonna be begging me, “please, Mr. Trump, please, President Trump, no more victories! We can't take any more victories!”…–THE CROWD LAUGHS­–…“…we can't take any more victories! Please, let's lose a couple of times, please!”.
 
I'll say, “no, we're never gonna lose! We're gonna make America great again!”, and everyone goes crazy. You know, we have fun with that…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have fun with it. But we are, we're gonna win so much. We are gonna win so much.
 
Uh…we're gonna get rid of…Obamacare, and we're gonna put something that's so much better. We're gonna…repeal it, we're gonna replace it. We're gonna get so…I’ll tell you what, there are so…many…better…things that are out there. But your…premiums are going up.You see what's happening, 25, 35, 45 percent.
 
Your…your…deductible is through the roof. You almost have to be dead to try, and collect any of the deductible. It’s…uh….that's become so high that I mean, frankly…unless you need massive major surgery, you're out of business. It's…it’s ridiculous, what's going on! And it's gonna die in '17 anyway. They say, by '17, it's gonna be dead, because the wrong people are…in terms of the people with the money aren't signing up; …it's people without! And, it's just not…it’s just can't carry itself, and it's just a disaster.It's a basic disaster, so that's gonna be gone.
 
We are going to do so great with our military. We're gonna make our military so big, and so strong, and so powerful…! And by the way, that's so…much…less expensive than what we're doing now. Nobody is gonna mess with us. Nobody! Nobody is gonnamess with us! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna take care of our vets, and we're gonna take care of them properly.
 
Illegal immigrants are treated better in many cases than our vets. Our vets are treated horribly. They wait six days in a…reception room before they can get care. We're gonna take care of our vets, and a lot of that's management. It's not even the money! They pour money into it. But…you know, the corruption in the Veterans Administration is legendary and massive. You see what's going on in Arizona and other places. It's absolutely disgraceful.
 
One other thing that I think is important and in Iowa, in particular, for whatever reason they love this, I'm self-funding my own campaign, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'm not having guys come up and give me millions and millions of dollars. And one guy wants insurance, and one guy wants something else, and one guy…uh…you know, he's in…uh…such, and such a business; oil, or gas, or this, or that. And…uh…you know, we are…I'm self-funding, and…uh…I'll tell you what, I have turned down so…much…money…that I actually feel foolish…–INAUDIBLE. You know, my whole life has been to take, take, right!? Take! I was greedy! I take, I take! Now, I'm gonna be greedy for the United States! I'm gonna take for the United States! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, I'm gonna be greedy for our country. I'm gonna take. We're not gonna be the stupid people anymore. We're gonna be the really smart people. And we're gonna bring it back.
 
You know, we own 19 trillion dollars. 19 trillion. That's rapidly going up to 21 because of the ridiculous budget. [Did] You see the budget that was passed two weeks ago!? We're funding everything! We're funding Obamacare. We're funding the Syrians coming in…which, by the way, [it’s] not gonna happen…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That's not gonna happen! The Syrians, [they’re] not coming…we don't know who they are! We don't know who they are. We don't know where they come from. Some are…ISIS, I think! I think, it's gonna be ISIS! You know, three, four weeks ago, I wouldn't have said that! But now, based if you look at what's happening with Denmark, and Norway…; if you look at what's happening with Germany…! I mean take a look at Germany! What a disaster that is!
 
And I was on Time Magazine. By the way, get this week's Time Magazine, it’s great. I'm on the cover. I like this week better than the last time…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But…but…uh...this week…this week's Time magazine story is amazing. It tells you about the campaign, what's happened. It's amazing. And it's…been a…an incredible story.
 
But if you look at what's happening with the migration, and we're taking in people! We have no idea who they are! And law enforcement, I've spoken to many of them. I've watched them. I’ve…I've read about it so much…; and they say, there's no way…of saying where these people are from; what they represent, who they represent. This could be the greatest Trojan horse in history. This could be the real deal Trojan horse. And we wanna take thousands and thousands; and don't believe the 10,000 number. It…you know, even in the debate, the previous debate, they talked about 65,000 people, okay? And…you…don't believe the numbers. They wanna bring in tremendous. Tremendous.
 
And you know, very sadly, if they're Christian? They don't come in! Okay? If they're Christian, they don't come in! And, before this whole mess, if you were in Syria…two, three, four years ago, one of the top…experts told me this on…on borders, and on the military…I mean, this is a real…guy that really understands what's going on. He said, “you know, Mr. Trump, [it’s the] first time I heard it. He said, if you're from Syria, and if you're a Muslim, it's very easy to come into the United States. [It’s] One of the easier places. But if you're from Syria, and if you're a Christian…? It's almost impossible to come into the United States. [It’s] One of the hardest things to do. If you…I never forgot it. That was three years ago he told me, three and a half years ago. I never forgot what he said, because Christianity is under siege, folks. Whether you wanna hear it or not, it's under…siege! And we've gottareverse it.
 
But if you were from Syria…three years ago, four years ago, three and a half years ago, [and] you wanted to come into this country…? If you were Christian, [it was] one of the hardest places on earth, to come into the United States was a Syrian…who happen to be Christian. [There’s] Something wrong! And they're the ones that really needed the protection more than anybody else.
 
So, it's all gonna change. It's all gonna change. We're gonna use our heads. We're gonna be fair! We're gonna deal from the heart. We're gonna deal from the brain. And we're gonna make America great again.
 
And I'm telling you, [it’s] so important is, on February 1st, you have to get out there, and you have to show our stuff. Because otherwise, you've wasted your time. I've wasted my time. I won't even say wasted money. It's a lot of money. Who cares? I don't care about the money. I've wasted a lot of time, a lot of energy, a lot of effort. We have to do this for the good of the country, causewe can turn our country around.
 
And I will say, make America great again. And, lately, I've been adding, cause I've seen the people! They're incredible people! Make America great again. We can make it greater…and I really mean this, I think we can make it greater…than ever…before! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's true.
 
But if we go four more years, we've got four more years with…Obama and maybe worse…between either of them. I mean how about this guy, this socialist, Bernie Sanders? I mean, this guy is a total whack job! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. But, if we go with either one of them…but let's assume, it's Hillary. I mean, you know, let's assume…; if we go with any…either of these two people, I'm not sure you ever come back from it. It's gonna be an abyss that I'm not sure that you can ever bring it back.
 
But we can make America greater than ever before.
 
Thank you very much everybody! Thank you! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Thank you very much! Thank you!
