Wow, what a nice crowd! Ah, it’s a great place. Thank you very much everybody. Thank you very much, Jerry. Jerry has been so amazing actually, folks.
MR. FALWELL INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.10.35:
Here they are! It’s…Melania, Ivanka, Jared, it’s Ivanka’s husband. That’s so nice. And Ivanka’s gonna have a baby any minute, so, we’re all set. And I said, “Ivanka, please, please, please, have the baby in Iowa, it would guarantee victory…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Thank you very much, that’s very nice. Thank you.
MR. FALWELL INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.11.37:
Actually when he said, “we insist on doing that”, I doubled up the prices. I figured, “what the hell?”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
MR. FALWELL INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.12.16:
Oh, these…these people are the worst. I thought real estate people in New York were bad. These politicians are the worst liars. Wow! They’re terrible…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS. These are terrible. They…they’ll say anything. It’s…like incredible. Actually, we saw one. We were both amazed at it. It says, “voter violation”. We just saw…; did you see this today? The Cruz’s campaign. “Voter violation”. And it…it’s like this…an official document being sent to people in Iowa, that they have to get a…vote…because they’re in “violation”. And they have grades for different things. And it says, “F”. And…and it’s so…I mean, it’s terrible! I’ve never seen anything like it! And…I guess your attorney general is investigating. And then it just came out. But I said, “that is really terrible!”. It’s a fraud as far as I’m concerned.
But you’re in a rough business over here, I’ll tell you what. And one thing I said before, Jerry: you haven’t had a winner in Iowa in 16 years! We’re gonna have a winner. You’d better believe it. You’re gonna have a winner this time…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You’re gonna have a winner. We’re gonna…we’re gonna change that. That’s a bad spell. 16…that’s a lot of years!
MR. FALWELL INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.13.33:
I was on the committee.

MR. FALWELL SPEAKS.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.13.42:
One of them actually did. They said I was…pushing…Obama…in…08. I was on McCain’s committee! I liked McCain. He was a nice guy. He tried. It was a tough deal for him. I mean, that was an election that was tough to win because of…what happened a couple of…months…previous with the economy.
But, you know, the last election, we should have won! That was the…Romney election. I mean, sad! I’m not blaming anybody. I’m just saying “sad!” …that we didn’t win it. And one thing I will say, Obama? And you have to give him credit. He was on television every night! He was on David Letterman, Jay Leno…; and…Mitt [Romney] was not around very much. And I called their campaigner and I said, “why is he not going on television? He’s gotta go on television”. He ended up losing.
That was an election that we should have won. That should have been a victory. You had a failed president…and that was an election that should have won…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
MR. FALWELL INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.14.46:
Well…I…this…you know, I use that deal all the time. A lot of you have…heard some of my speeches and…I see all the press we have back there. Look at these people, they just never stop…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
So…we did. We had a great evening. And…these are incredible people. And…because of the…largesse; because of the niceness of Carl Icahn, who's one of our great businessmen, and…who will help us with our negotiations with China…! Believe me, we're gonna come out just fine; and many other places. And…many other businessmen that are friends of mine businessmen…; Phil Ruffin gave a million dollars, from…uhm…Las Vegas. And…Carl gave a…half a million. Ike Perlmutter. The great Ike Perlmutter, the head of Marvel. Uhm…brilliant man; he and Laurie, his wife, gave…uhm…one million dollars. And so many others.
I mean, we've had such…; we had…in one…hour, we raised six million dollars for the Vets. And…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And Jerry, we vetted…we vetted the vets very closely, because we wanted to make sure…; we picked about 20 groups…22 groups. And we're giving a lot of money out. And they're really happy about it. Tell us what do you do exactly: What do you do to deserve all this money…-MR. TRUMP TALKS TO TWO WOMEN ON STAGE HOLDING A CHECK.
THE WOMAN INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.20.10:
That’s so great. Well, that’s so great. Congratulations. That’s great. Thank you! Fantastic! Thank you! Thank you darling. You take care of yourselves. Thank you. Thank you very much.
 So many great people. It's amazing.

MR. FALWALL INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.22.58:
Well, number one…we have to stop the fraud, waste and abuse. It’s massive throughout our country. It’s massive. And everybody’s…you know, into that. And we're going to do that. But we're gonna bring back our jobs.
If you look at what China has done to us, what Japan…; I've been talking about this for years. But the politicians, they're all talk, they’re no action. They have no clue how to do it. action. But if you look at China…; Japan…; Mexico…; I have great relationships with Mexico. With the people of Mexico. I have thousands of Hispanic employees. In fact, Ivanka was just telling me today, in New York Post there’s this great…article, about me and the Hispanics. Where…I guess it's…from…the Hispanics living here legally…; I'm just…doing so phenomenal. I'm number one in the polls with Hispanics living here legally. I mean, my relationship with…Hispanics is great! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But…thank you. We're gonna bring back jobs to this country. We're gonna take them back from Mexico. We're gonna bring them back from China.
You know, I often say that what China has done to our country is the biggest theft in the history of the world! They’ve taken our…our jobs; they've taken our money; they’ve taken our base; they've taken our heart: And they've rebuilt China! And we have the power of them. You know we have a leader that has no idea, if you call him a leader…; he has no idea. [He] has absolutely no idea what…to do about this. Or how to negotiate.
And every time the top people come over from China, they're getting these big, you know, beautiful…; they put a tent on the White House. We don’t have a ballroom at the White House. I offered, by the way, Jerry…years ago, to build a ballroom at the White House. Free of charge! A 100 million ballroom. I said, “we'll get the top five architects in America. We'll get the top people. Top…everything. We'll have the best ballroom…”. Because I noticed they always put tents up on the lawn!
Number one, not it’s not a good security thing. Number two, the guy that owns the tents is making a fortune! Okay!? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. This poor guy…; I mean, he's making so much money. All he needs is one tent and he charges them so much! He's making a fortune. All right!
But I said, “I will build a ballroom”. I gave it to the Obama…; I actually told David Axelrod…a good guy, you know, [a] very capable guy. I told David Axelrod, “David, I will build a ballroom free of charge. At least a hundred million dollars. We’ll make it the finest ballroom in the world. We'll put it someplace so it works contextually, magnificently. It'll be done. We'll have committee set up…”. I never heard back. I never heard back.
It's…you know, it's just one of…just thousands of things. I mean, if someone's gonna give me a free ballroom, I'm gonna take it! We’ll put in an area; it’ll look great. But, you know, we don't have a ballroom at the White House.
So…but I see the heads of China come in. And we treat them so beautifully! And yet, this year, we will have a trade deficit with China of five…hundred…billion…dollars. What kind of business is this!? And this has been, by the way, going on for many, many years.
And Japan, same thing. Smaller numbers, but the same thing. They send their cars in by the millions. And we have tremendous deficits.
And…Mexico? When I say we're building a wall, we're gonna build a wall. Believe me. And who's gonna pay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS-…who’s gonna pay? Mexico!  Mexico, Jerry is gonna pay. And the politicians come off the stage with me, and they say, “you know, I don't understand. How can you say Mexico…? Mexico, is not gonna pay for wall”.
I say, “of course they are!”.
They said, “how…?”.
And I don’t really wanna tell them because it's gonna take them a while to figure it out. But…very simply, Mexico is making a fortune on the United States, okay? A fortune. Far greater than what we're talking about. And the cost of the wall is peanuts by comparison to what they're making. It will be…trust me, very, very easy. Very easy…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
MR. FALWALL INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.28.23:
Well, look, the Second Amendment, we're going to protect it. We're gonna take care of it. And we're gonna take care of it. And we're gonna cherish it. And we're not gonna let people nip away at it like they've been doing, okay? And…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
If you look at what happened as an example in Paris…; Paris is the most…difficult place…they say in the world, who knows? But it's certainly very difficult. And France, generally, you can't have a gun.  You just…it's impossible, practically. Except for the bad guys! The bad guys can have a gun cause they just…had a gun!
Now, if we had…in…California, the 14 people that were killed. Or, as an example in Paris, where they killed…130 people…with many more to follow! You know, you have many people that are gravely…I mean, really in bad shape. Uhm…lying in hospitals right now. At a…at a minimum, their lives are destroyed, and…they’re in…gonna have a rough life. But these guys walked in, boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! They could have stayed there all day and they could have stayed there all day and they could have stayed there all day and done the same thing and do the same thing. And they killed 130 people. So many badly injured.
In California, I mean, where the…the wedding was actually…uhm…in a forum thrown. They were giving parties. They knew each other. They knew everything about it. I guess they gave a baby party. And it's the most…the incredible thing! Walk in, they shot 14 people. [They] would have killed more. If we…had…somebody like…that gentleman with the beautiful white make America Great again hat on. Or the red make America great hat on. Or anybody, “you”, “you”. Anybody. If we had some people…meaning, if there were people, in Paris, or if there were people in California. Or if there were people…you know, the five soldiers that were killed…uhm…nine months ago. In a gun-free zone on a military base! I’d amend that immediately, Jerry, with a…executive order. You could knock that out immediately…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, five soldiers…! Two of them were world-class…marksmen. They were all great soldiers. They told they couldn't have their guns. Gun-free zone. Put the guns, 200 yards away, lock them up. They can't be there. This whack job walks in, shoots all five of them. [If] they had the guns, [it] would have been a different story.
If there were guns in Paris…on the other side, just a few. Maybe…on the ankle, or on the waist, where you…lift up, and you start shooting bullets in the other direction. It would have been a whole different story, folks.
If would there were guns in California, where…a couple of the people in that room, if not all; but if a couple of people had guns, it would have been a totally different story. You wouldn't have fourteen dead. And you know one thing, the police wouldn't have had to go all over the place. And I think the police in Paris…by the way, and…the police in California, I thought they did an amazing job. I really did.
And…speaking of that, the police in this country…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS-…are really taking a beating, and they're great, great people. They job they do…it’s…fantastic…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Fantastic.
So…really true.
So, we have to protect our Second Amendment. And….we have to do it right, or we're not gonna have a country anymore, folks. We're not gonna have a country anymore.
 
MR. FALWALL INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.31.51:
Well, the job numbers that come back are…total nonsense. You know, these numbers were made a number of years ago, and the way they compile the numbers…uhm…so that politicians look good, that's all it is. Because if you're looking for a job and you give up, statistically you are considered employed. So, you have millions and millions of people that have looked, and looked and looked…! …and, they gave up! There is no job! And if you looked at the numbers that came out two weeks ago. They said that…the numbers are 5.1 and 5.2 percent, which is total nonsense. I actually think it could be as high as 30 to 35 percent. A lot of people think it’s 35 percent. The real number!
But if you look at the…the jobs that they do have. They’re bad jobs! They’re considered really bad jobs. Somebody got on one of the shows…and I read in great depth, in detail…an account. These are…among the worst jobs…that we've ever been talking about. And yet they're considered jobs.
So we're gonna get real jobs back. We're gonna bring them back from overseas. We're gonna bring them back from all these countries that have taken them away from us. I mean, you an example…; you call up for a credit card, to check…or somebody calls you. And I'll say sometimes, “where are you based?”. And they'll be based in India…; They'll be based…; I mean, it's amazing! And you notice, the accent is a little bit different. And, “where are you from?”.
Well, “I'm from India”. Or “I’m from another country”.
We’re doing everything! We're not…we don't have jobs. If you look at what's really going with our country, we're gonna be in such trouble. We're gonna bring our jobs back from overseas. We have incredible people.
One thing I've learned more than anything else. They said [the press], “what have you learned?”. You know, we have a movement going on, folks. Every room is like this. They're packed. No matter where we go, they're packed! The cover of Time magazine last week. We had cover of Time magazine last week. We had cover of Time magazine last week…; we had…uhm…the most unbelievable writer. I never spoke to him! It was one of the best stories I ever had. And I said to my wife, “Melania, I'm never gonna speak to a reporter again! I got the best story and I never spoke to him! I don't waste my time!”… -THE CROWD LAUGHS. Cause, you know, there's tremendous dishonesty with these people. They’re most dishonest…among…; I…they're a little more honest than the politicians, but…you know; and maybe that's why they're so dishonest, because the other one…look who they're dealing with.
And I'm not a politician, remember. I'm a businessman. We're a businessman. We’re a business men…but…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [paa1] guy businessman, we're a business guy
But the cover of Time magazine is so amazing because it talks about the movement. And it's actually a picture of me talking to a crowd…; it's actually a picture of the back of my head. I was very impressed. Fairly okay back there with the…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…you know…not much of a ball spot the, you know, not much of a ball spot the, you know, not much of a bald spot which is okay, which is okay.
But it's a picture of me standing talking to a very large crowd of people, which is standard! And…it talks about a movement. And it literally didn't have a bad…half…sentence in there. They said there's never been anything like this. There's never been anything like that….what’s happening.
And this is why, and I'll just interrupt Jerry for one second. It's so important! You know, we're leading now in the polls in Iowa. So, we're leading in everything. A poll just came down…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And the folks from Bloomberg are down here, in all fairness. And even the Des Moines Register. Can you imagine? They couldn't have been happy…with Trump leading their poll. They were not happy, I guess!
But John, and…and…uhm…you know, the group is here. And…uhm…wait, there’s some…I mean, look: you do have some. Mark, and John and…their wives, and…families are here. You have some great people. You have some great people in this country! Some great, great people in this country. And I was going to say that, what I've learned more than anything else in doing this, is how… incredible, smart, committed the people of the United States are! It's incredible! They wanna see America be incredible again! It's very simple! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They wanna see our country be great again.
But I…I really wish you'd go see this, because that story was so inspiring to read! And it’s not a story really about me. It's a story about story about you. It's a story about story about people…that are fed up. They're sick and tired. You can call it ‘angry’. At the debate before the one I skipped…; and the reason I skipped it, by the way, was because I was not treated properly by Fox. And they've been very nice since. And they were even very nice before. They wanted me to go in the debate! And they didn't do well in the debate. They would have done very well, had I gone. We would have broken every record of the book…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. But I couldn't.
But you know what? I'm glad…in many respects [that] I didn't do it. What happened…a…poll just came out, in New Hampshire, just…two minutes before we came on…; and in that poll I have a twenty-five-point lead! Do you know what a twenty-five-point lead is!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And…people respect the fact that I skipped the debate, because I wasn't treated right! And we have to do that! I wasn't treated properly! And we have to think about that with our country. When our country isn't treated right…our leaders have to do what's right for the people! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean, we get beat up by everybody. We get beat up by everybody! There's nothing! We don't have victories anymore. We don't  win anymore. I mean, when was the last time we had a victory? We don't win on trade….; we can't beat ISIS…;
Can you imagine General George Patton or General MacArthur…Douglas MacArthur, saying, “ISIS is tough”.
I've seen these generals. They're always interviewed on television, Jerry. They're on television! I don't want my generals on television! First of all, you wanna be unpredictable. You wanna be like…you don't want them to think…;
What do you wanna…? What are you talking on television!? Unless you're feeding false information. And of course, we would never do that, because…we’re not…I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. But, we have to be strong. We have to be smart. And we have to win this election. And we have to win in Iowa.
You know, a lot of people say, “Donald, just say ‘do well in Iowa’”. I say, “I can’t do that”. I really wanna win.
Now, maybe it won't work that way. But if we do, we're gonna run the table, folks. And we're gonna make this country so great…you're gonna have victories all over the place…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…you’re gonna have victories all over.
So…tomorrow; tomorrow…its DonaldJTrump.com. And…you just go out, its gonna tell you exactly where to go to caucus, but…you gotta get out! And I joke! I say, “if you're sick. If you've got a hundred and four temperature”, right? I've been doing this! “If your doctor says, ‘you cannot leave your bed. You won't make it’. It doesn't matter! Get up and caucus!”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. Get up and caucus!
So you gotta get there. And…It looks like the snowstorm will start the following day, so hopefully that won't be an excuse .But even if it starts a little early, who the hell cares!? Go through the storm…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Because what we wanna do, Jerry, [is] we wanna win a mandate. We wanna win by mandate. We wanna have such…strength. And going into New Hampshire with a twenty-five-point lead…;
But if we can come out Iowa with a nice victory, it's so important. It's important. And it's gonna be so important for Iowa because you're gonna have a great victory. And we're gonna go all the way.
You know, recent polls are showing [that] I beat Hillary Clinton, and…if she runs! I mean, is she gonna be able to run!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Jerry? I mean, if she runs! But it shows that we beat Hillary Clinton and beat her fairly soundly in a couple…;
I just say this, “we're gonna win. We're gonna take back our country. We are gonna make you so proud…”. You're gonna have…;”. Remember this night! We’re make you…so…proud; of your president! But you're gonna be so proud of yourselves. You're gonna be proud of your country again. Okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS AND THEN CHANTS ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY. MR. TRUMP AND MR. FALWELL CHANT ALONG. That’s great. Amazing spirit.

MR. FALWELL INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.39.36:
I am pro-life…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.

MR. FALWALL INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.40.31:
Well, see Jerry says…you were betrayed. I would say you were lied to, by the politicians. You were really lied to. Because…and I see it whether it's Iowa, or…anywhere else. New Hampshire…same thing. I get the same complaints up there.
You'll send these people to Congress, or you'll send them to wherever you're sending them. Into Washington… mostly into Washington. And they get there, and then they, all of a sudden, they turn weak and they turn stupid. They…don't do what they're supposed to do! And they extend like…two weeks ago, the new budget, which is…uhm…did you ever see a budget like that!? And did you ever see anything like that for that kind of money? They’ve…taken care of Obamacare; they've taken care of the Syrians coming in; they’ve taken care of migration; they've taken care of people coming across the border, which we're gonna stop, folks. They've taken care of so many different things!
And during the…previous debates, though, they were saying, “Donald Trump…”, you know, Nikki Haley, who's a good woman…; and actually, by the end of the day she was saying we're friends, because…I mean, she was really…I mean, she was really…; people were really angry at her! She said, “there's great anger!”. And I was asked that question on the previous debate! Which everyone said I won, but I won’t mention that. Won big! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
I won all the debates according…; but…but…you know what, I was asked that question on the previous debate! And…they said, “is it true…that…you’re…angry!?”.
And I said, “well…”. You know, I'm supposed to say, “no, no. It's not true. I'm not angry. I love the way things are going. Isn't the Iran deal wonderful? Isn't it great?” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. “Isn’t the border protection beautiful?”. I mean, what’s good!? We don't win anyway! We don't win!
And…so they said ‘anger’, like I'm supposed to fight it. I said, “I am angry! I’m really angry!”. And the people that are with me are angry too! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And you know, it's interesting, because we're not…; you know, they want us to look like maniacs. We're not angry people! But we're angry at the stupidity and the incompetence of our leaders! That's all. And you know what…in a short…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s true! And you’re not angry people!
But in a short period of time, if I get in. And if we go and…just…we're gonna do a great job .You're not gonna be angry anymore. You're gonna be happy! Because we’re going to win so much. You're gonna be happy people again.
But they asked me that question, Jerry. Like…you know, they wanted me to say, “I'm not angry! I'm not!”. And I said, “you know, I'm really angry. I’m right, you're right. And then Nikki Haley said, “no, no. It's okay. Donald's a friend of mine. He's a contributor. He’s a…”. And she was very nice. I'm not knocking anybody. But originally, it started out being that we're all angry people.
We're just wanna see great government. We just wanna see security. We wanna see wealth again. We want our country to be rich again, because unless we're rich…; you know, a woman came up to me, Jerry, and she said, “Mr. Trump, I don't like that statement where you say you're gonna become rich again for the country”.
I said, “but unless we become rich again…;”. You know, we’re a debtor nation right now. We owe 19 trillion dollars. I would have never given that hundred and fifty billion dollars…to Iran. I would have told them this: “Listen, I'm sorry, we don't have it! It’s…we're a debtor nation! We don't have it! We don’t have it!”…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I would have never given that money to Iran. And…I would have never in a million years…;
First of all, I would have gotten the prisoners back long before the negotiations started. That…I can tell you…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But…I would have told them! I’d said, “fellas, look. Uhm…you know, uhm…we…I'm sorry but we are…we owe too much money. We can't give you back. Let's go. What's your next subject next subject? What's your next subject next subject? Let's get off that”. Believe me, we would have to walk for a day or two; then they would have called us. We'll double up the sanctions. They'd call us back. We start talking. But…I would have never given…;
One of the biggest problems…assuming I get in, you know, people always get angry. I say, “If I make it!”.
They go, “no, no! You're going to make it!”.
Look. Things can happen. We have people…they’re professional politicians [that] I'm running against. They’re governors. They’re Senators, etc. And…some smart and, frankly, some aren't very smart. I mean, you look at Lindsey Graham! In…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY-…South Carolina, the poll is…I'm 38 and in he's one, and he's the sitting Senator! Think of that! But you look…and by the way, I totally disagree with his ideas on the military. Ay…these ideas! These ideas have been going on for 15 years! What have we won? Nothing! We've won nothing! We have won absolutely nothing.
And our military…has…such…potential. But I don't even wanna think about using the military! We just wanna make it so strong, Jerry. It’s the cheapest thing we can do! Be so strong that people just…and I said it before! They're not gonna play the play with us! They're not gonna play the game! Right now, they taunt us! They just taunt us! We're not gonna let them play the game. We're gonna be great again. We're gonna be strong again.

MR. FALWELL INTERVENES .
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.46.30:
Thank you, Jerry. I…I…you know, just in finishing. I…I…I just wanted to add…just a couple of little things because I believe that…I will win states that the Republicans never even put down as a possibility. I mean, we're gonna win…Virginia. We're gonna win Michigan…; hey, I'm gonna bring the car industry back into Michigan. You know, when…when…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…when Mexico…when Mexico takes the big Ford plant, two and a half billion-dollar plant, that's not good for us, folks. Okay? There's nothing good about it.
And…we're gonna win Michigan. They've already seen it. I've seen polls that are through the roof in Michigan. Somebody called me, they said, “you know, you're winning Michigan!”. We're talking then in general. And…Ohio. We're gonna win Ohio. And…I like John Kasich very much, but I'm beating him by a lot in the polls. I mean, I beat him in Ohio. And he's a good Governor. But I’m beating him by a lot.
And you go to Florida, I’m at 48 percent. And…uhm…Marco Rubio, good guy. But he's at 11. And…Jeb Bush is cling! He's down! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND LAUDHS. He’s…boom! MR. TRUMP SHOWS HOW HE IS FALLING. You know, he spent…; Jerry, he spent a hundred…; he's now up to a 110 million dollars! Think of it! I'm the…I…; okay. Look, I don't like to brag, and I'm actually gonna start to spend a lot of money because I feel guilty not doing it…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Because these guys…will start saying, “he should spend more money”.
But you know what? I…although they're very impressed. So, I've spent just about the least money. He spent the most. I'm in first place. He's in like last place. Isn't that great? Wouldn't that be great if we could do that for our country? Would that be great? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Wouldn’t that be great?
You know, in education, in the world…you have…in the world, you have Sweden…; you have Denmark…; you have China. One, two, three. And it changes around a little. But…basically…basically, it’s Sweden, Denmark, Norway…China…that group. So we spend more money, by far, per pupil than any other country…in the world. By far! [The] second place doesn't even exist! They're so far behind. We're ranked number 28 in the world; in terms of education. Common Core is going, by the way. It’s gone It’s gone. Okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Gone! It’s so…so stupid. Educate the children…in Iowa, from Washington DC, where you have bureaucrats. And not all are bad! But…you know, it’s… they’re getting massive salaries…; [did] you ever see the Department of Education? The massiveness of that building and the people…? What are they doing? Local education is the way to go. And…it's obviously not working because we're ranked number 28. We have third…world…countries ahead of us.
So when you equate it to be spending very little and now…you know, compare that with the Bush and other people that have spent so much money [and] they're not doing well. Would it be nice if we spent, in this country, on various things, we spend less and were at the top of the heap the same way? And that can happen! That can happen…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So, and that's what's going to happen.
But…I….I wanna tell you. This is a special man…-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT MR. FALWELL. We’ve traveled to…day. It’s the third…one we've done. He doesn't do this! And…his wife is amazing. His family is amazing. And…Becky was telling me: “Jerry, was so excited. He's…he’s…he doesn't do this!”. And…the job he's done…at Liberty University; the job he's done there is incredible.
When I went there recently, I was very happy to say I broke the record, but these are minor details…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
I…I had to get that…out; I had to…I’m sorry. But I was there a couple of weeks ago. What they've built at Liberty is so incredible. And for Jerry to devote really two days to…endorsing me and going around as an individual, and bringing his family…is such an honor! Because, truly, he's one of the…; beyond religion, beyond Christianity, beyond evangelical…he's such a great man! I mean, beyond. And, for…to have the support of…Jerry and his family…is an honor. And I wanna thank you very much Jerry…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
