Hello everybody! Thank you for being here.

So, this is it. It’s crunch time, right? It’s crunch time! We’ve all worked very hard for this and...uhm…we wanted to make this stop. It was gonna be just a…quickie and I was…; great group of people. But these are a…very close friends. So, we wanted to stop. We’re going over to see the rapids right now. In fact, they just…learned you can’t fly in. So, we’re driving. So, I’ll get the hell out of here fast. Is that okay?
But it’s gonna…no, no, no. We’re gonna take the best care. But I wanna thank everybody for being here. Uhm…it’s been…such an amazing experience. First of all, Iowa is a great place. It’s a great state…with…just the most fantastic people. And…I must say, win, lose or draw, I love you, folks all. I love all; It’s been…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
The kind of crowds. The kind of reception we’ve had…and uhm…; but tonight it’s…you know, it really is. It’s crunch time. All of this work. It’s…uhm…all about this. I put up my own money. I self-fund it. In fact, I see all these guys, they get money, money, money…from all these other people. Many of the people, I know. Not good people! Some good people, but many of them are not good people. Meaning…they worry about themselves. They don’t worry about the country.
And…with me, I wanna just do what’s right. I’ve done…great in the country, at…you know, fortunately, I can…I can do that. I am allowed to…say, “hey…!”. I’ve…I love…; I love this country. I love the people of this country. It’s time we had somebody that makes proper decisions. Because we have people that don’t know…what…they’re doing.
Whether you look at the Iran deal…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS-…it’s incredible. When you look at the Iran deal; when you look at…uhm…any deal! I mean, look at the trade deals…you don’t see that as often. It’s not as obvious. But what these other countries are doing to us…they’re just…uhm…cleaning our clock. And…I’ve had it with it. I’ve had it.
And that’s why I said…; somebody said, “he’s angry!”.
And I said, you know, I’m supposed to say, “oh, no, I’m not angry” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. I am angry! I’m angry…that we’re being…and you’re angry too! And…and…you know, the cover of Time Magazine has it. I mean, they literally put it down, where…they are very, very…; and they…they…they have it! It’s a…you…you have to read the story, by the way. It is such…an incredible…story. As to what’s happened. With this whole thing, with the movement…; and with the people and it’s…just…like one of the great stories.
And…they were saying, and very strongly, “is he angry!?”.
And I said to myself…; you know, I’m supposed to say, “no”. But actually, I am angry. But I won’t be angry for long. Because if we win…I will straighten it out so fast…! And we’ll do it together! But we’ll have it straighten out so fast…; because our people are…absolutely…incredible…people. We have the best of everything. We have the best place on earth. And we’re gonna make it good again.
You know, I said…; I put out a tweet this morning. I said, “we’re gonna take back our coutrny. This is where we start. This is day one. We’re gonna take…back…our…country from these incomepetent politicians that don’t know what they’re doing…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s true! They don’t know what they’re doing. And if they did know what they are doing…; And…it…it…and…And I will tell you, some of it it’s worse about what you think about not knowing. Many times, they do things that you say, “oh! They’re not very smart! They can’t be…doing this. They have to be…totally incompetent!”. The truth is…they do things for people that give them the money! They’re doing things for their special interests; and for they fund raisers and…for all of these people…; many of whom I know! I mean, I look at some of the last, and I laugh. I look at some of the money put up to…all of them! I mean, I…I don’t wanna use names, but I will, okay? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
No, I mean, I’m looking at the money putting…put up by Ted Cruz…; for Ted Cruz…; it’s…incredible! The people there. He’s controlled. And he will destroy your ethanol business. 100 percent. It…100 percent. And look, I’m not really blaming him! Because…he’s…financed by oil people! And the oil people don’t want ethanol! It’s very simple! Especially now, because with the prices going down the last thing, they need is more competition!
So the oil people are funding him, and they don’t want ethanol! Your…ethanol business, if Ted Cruz gets in, will be wiped out withing…six months to a year. It’s gonna be gone! It’s gonna be gone.
And as you know, the ethanol folks like Trump. I’ve been consistent. I’ve been solid. And…uhm…I’m a supporter. And I’ll always be a supporter. And I view it differently. I view it…the more energy we can have…; we never wanna be in a position like we’ve been in…over the last…many years. Now, we’re just now starting to come out of it. But all of a sudden [the] production’s gonna go down; prices are gonna go up; you’re gonna end up with a monopoly again…; it’s just not gonna happen. So…uhm…just remember that. I’ve been for you. And…the ethanol folks, the people that are representing you…have given me the absolute…uhm…highest accolades all over the place. So…-THE CROWD CHEERS ABD APPLAUDS. And the governor! Your governor. I mean, the…; your governor said, “you can't put Ted Cruz in, because he's gonna destroy…the ethanol business”. That's it! I had no idea how many jobs it means for Iowa. That's a major industry in Iowa. So, uhm…you have to remember that.
Now, I had a…debate…that…I wasn't treated, I had a debate that I wasn't treated properly on. So, what I did is I…said, you know, you to have to treat properly. You have to treat people properly. And…I wasn't treated properly. And that’s okay. I mean, I’ve been there before. Right? But…what I did is I said, “I'm gonna have a little event”. Not a competing event! And it wasn't a big deal. And I had no idea how well it was gonna turn out. So, we had a 700-seat theater, about five minutes away from where the debate was. And…we had it for veterans! We had an event for veterans. And at that event…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…thank you.
And the sad part is if I had…if I was in that debate, it didn't do very well. It had 12 million people. The one that I was in, the first one, had 24…almost 25 million people. And that was an all-time record in the history of cable television…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And…and honestly, if we had…and very importantly, if I was there, we would have broken that record. But much more importantly, by not doing it…; we have to defend ourselves and we have to defend our country. If you have a president, you have to have a president that’s gonna defend your country… more so than even…himself or herself. I mean, [it] has to happen!
So, I had a competing event and we did it for…veterans. Because the veterans in this country, have been treated so…horribly. They've been treated…so…badly.
And…we raised…in one hour, listen to this one. Six…million…dollars. Okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…I'm not gonna talk about polls today, because, frankly, the polls today…; today we have our ultimate polls. So, I don’t have to talk about polls. But, uhm…the one that just came out of New Hampshire has us way, way up! Because of the debate! Because of what I did! People respect it, that we don't take the stuff from people that…you know, shouldn't be treating us that way. And they respected it. And I think they also like the fact that…we didn't just…not do it. We did something that benefits so many people. And in this case the…uhm…the…great veterans, and…veterans causes.
And so we've given away…uhm…I raised…uhm…uhm…six…; I have  so many friends, Carl Icahn, who you…you don't know, but he's a great businessman. He put up a half a million dollars, Phil Ruffin up a half a million dollars. Phil Ruffin up a half a million dollars. Phil Ruffin, a great businessman from Las Vegas, put up a million dollars. The great Ike Perlmutter, and…and Laurie Perlmutter. They put up a million dollars. Marvel…Entertainment. Uhm…what they did is incredible. The…Marvel, you know, they make all the great movies. I think he's got like…; I think he's got five of the top ten grossing movies of all time. He's one of the great people. And…they are…an amazing couple. And they put up a million dollars. And I put up a million dollars.
And…the bottom line is…one hour, six million dollars. And…that evening was so beautiful…; We had a veteran that came in; [he] lost his leg and he gave a…a speech; a talk. And…about coming back. And coming back and how tough it was for…to come back from the Middle East, and…all of a sudden be in society again. And how difficult it was. And how difficult it is for veterans, generally.
And we have today one of our first recipients: Uhm…Americans for independent living. And we have Arnold and Kim. And…they're here now to pick up a check a 100 thousand dollars. It's one. We're gonna give about 22 or 24 checks out. And they've all been vetted. They've all been…; you have not…; the Vets have been vetted. Because what we've done, is…we wanna make sure that these are the…; these people that get these checks are…amazing people. Amazing people.
And Arnold and Kim, if you come up. We're gonna give you a nice, beautiful check. And these…I’ve…; they've done an incredible…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. ARNOLD, KIM AND ANOTHER PERSON COME OUT ON STAGE.
“No, no. You’ll get in the news. I don’t wanna be in the news”…-ARNOLD AND KIM GET THE CHECK AND THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
“So, come over here! Let me say, uhm…; just, uhm…give a couple of minutes worth of what do you do? Because…I know, but they don't know. Go ahead”.

“See you in the White House”…-MR. TRUMP LAUGHS.
 
He said, “we'll see you in the White House” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. That's nice! I like him!
 
No, these people are amazing. I mean, they devote their lives to it. And we were very careful, because, you know, you have some people that don't do as good a job. And we said, “that's okay. Let somebody else help them”.
 
But…these…; some of the people that we’re…uhm…giving this money to…you know, it's…uhm…they're incredible people. And…it’s such an honor to be in a country with people like this. And they really care. I mean, that's what they want! They wanna help people. And…so…we're very happy to be able to help them.
 
Also, I have a couple of special people. I’m gonna introduce them, cause I see them standing in the back wings. My wife Melania, who's been so supportive. “Come on out, honey”…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So supportive! “Come on out! Come on honey!”. And my daughter…; thank you…-MRS. TRUMP KISSES MR. TRUMP. “Look at her!”. And, my daughter, Ivanka, and her husband, Jared. “Come on up”.
 
And Jared’s a very successful man, from New York. He's done a fantastic job. [He] creates a lot of housing for people. And…real estate. And…Ivanka is Ivanka. We know Ivanka, right? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. And she's gonna have a baby…uhm…perhaps in…ten minutes? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Or a week or two weeks or something. But we're ready. I…you know the joke, it has been going around. I said, “please, please! Have your baby in Iowa! I would not lose this! It’s…no way I could lose!” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. We're all prepared. We even have a place picked out. But, you know, perhaps that won't happen.
 
But…uhm…I just wanna thank you all…uhm…for being here. “Ivanka, [Do] you wanna say a word for a second? Come on!”.

MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.31.28:
 
Oh! Nice family is always the best thing. You know that, right? People say I talk on success, and…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS-…no, but it’s true. I talk so much on success where they ask me, “would you make a speech on success?”. I give…a lot of money to charity; talking about success. And we get these big, big crowds. And…people say, “what is it like!?”.
 
I say, “let me tell you: the most important thing is family”. It's really true! If you have…; I’ve seen people…; I've seen the most successful people in the world…; I deal with them! Some of them are giving me money! For the…vets! But I deal with them all the time. And…they have…tremendous money. And they've done a tremendous job. And they’ve put…uhm…you know, working…; lots of jobs…; lots of…education for families and…hospitalization; and…all sorts of things.
 
But, when you have…great…family life. You have a wife, and family that you love. Or you have a husband that you love, with your family…; uhm…it’s, honestly, those are the people that I see that are most successful people. Uhm…some of the most successful people that have made this…vast…sum of money have…and not all, but some of them are…actually, not happy at all.
 
And, so, when you say, “who's the successful person?”. Somebody that's really happy. Because of the family, and because of whatever? And…uhm…or somebody that's made…you know, billions of dollars, and…does not feel so great about themselves. And there's always wanting more, more and more.
 
You know, it's like an interesting thing. But, the happiest people I've seen are the people with the great family life. And, by the way, believing in God…[it’s] so important! And I've seen that so much. So…important! …-THE CROWD APPLAUDS. So important.
And…I have to tell you. Uhm…you know, I've been in Iowa now for…a long time. We've made many, many trips here. Many, many stops. That I've gotten to know many people. The…evangelicals…have been…unbelievable to Donald Trump. They have been…unbelievable- Boy, do they understand me! They understand me better than anybody. I said that this morning to somebody. I said, “I think the evangelicals really do get me”. But we're gonna protect so many things. We're gonna protect our country. We're gonna protect Christianity. You know, Christianity is under siege, folks. It's under siege…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And we’re gonna protect it.
 
And…you know what, Jerry Falwell was here yesterday. Jerry Falwell Jr, who's an amazing guy. He built with his father…Liberty University. And…I was there two weeks ago. And we set a record! In terms of attendance. But he's seen…everybody come through Liberty, cause each one of the candidates automatically…it's like an automatic stop. And…I guess every single candidate went through. And what he endorsed me…as a person, he endorsed me. I…I…that was one of the great compliments…that I could have had. Because he knows them all. He sees them all. Not an easy thing for him to do. He doesn't do that! I think this is the first time. So when he came out and did that, to me that was a great compliment.
 
And…uhm…I think it had a huge impact, frankly. Because…our numbers with the evangelicals…they were good before, but they weren't…through-the-roof. So, a combination of Jerry and Sarah Palin, is a terrific person and a terrific, and a terrific woman…; she came out and endorsed us and that was so nice and so great. And I think that had an impact.
 
And on the border, who's better than Sheriff Joe, of Arizona, right? …-THE CROWD APPLAUDS. You know, all of these people are fighting, and fighting, and fighting and trying to say they're the right…; it's very interesting, cause we're gonna have a lot of things. We're gonna do things that they have…not been done. I mean, we're gonna build that wall. It's gonna be a beautiful, big, strong, powerful wall. And people are gonna come through. But they're gonna come through legally! Legally! They're coming through the wall legally…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…and that’s the way it is. And it's…uhm…it's gonna be a great thing. And it's gonna be a…wonderful to have a border. We're gonna have a border. And…we are going to…; you know who's…paying for the wall. Mexico's paying for the wall…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. Okay? I won’t even…; I won't put you through the exercise “who's paying for the wall?”. Everybody knows! And they're going to!
 
And the other candidates come up. And they say, “why is Mexico paying? How can you do that? They’re not gonna pay for the wall!”. Of course they are! They make so much money off the United States in terms of trade deficits and trade. The numbers are astronomical. I'm not even including the drug traffic, which probably triples it. I'm sure…; you know, the drugs come over; so, we get the drugs, they get the cash. This the way. They have trucks! They drive over the…; [Did] you ever see the walls? We have a wall this high…-MR. TRUMP SHOWS WITH HIS HAND. And they build a little ramp. I don't even know why they build a ramp! They only just bulldoze it. I mean, they just drive straight. You don't need a ramp! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I don't know why they do that. I guess they don't wanna hurt the wall. But they build a ramp, and have…jeeps, and they have these… vehicles driving right over. Right over! It’s the incredible. I think it was in Time magazine; a picture…of…these vehicles driving over, loaded up with drugs. And…we get the drugs, and you look at some places like New Hampshire. Our next stop is New Hampshire! They have a drug problem that you wouldn't believe. And you wouldn't think of that for New Hampshire. It all comes from that southern border. And they have an amazing problem up there and many of the New England states. But…I mean, our country is a whole! So, they come up, and they come pouring across…and they come back with the cash. We're gonna stop it! Cause this wall’s not gonna be a wall you're gonna drive over. See that ceiling? That ceilings is peanuts compared to what we're talking about. Okay? This [is] a real wall. This is a wall [that] if they ever get up there, they're not coming down, because they're gonna say, “wow, it's a problem”…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And I get a kick out of…; I get a kick out of these people [who] say…; you know, they come out and they say, “the wall isn’t…; the walls don't work”. [The] walls don’t work!? I mean, the walls they build don't work! [Did] you ever see these things? They’re like made it like a paper-mache…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. No, this is the real deal, okay? This is…uhm…the…you know, this is gonna be…; I know exactly what it's gonna look like already. That's what I do. I really build good.
 
Wouldn't it be nice to have a real building? I'm a…I’m a really…; what I do best in life is build. You know, I built these buildings that are so great. Whether you look…no matter where you look. Whether you go to Chicago, or New York, or…it…anywhere! I mean, they’re…right now we have buildings going up all over the world! Doing this is actually…tough because I love what I do so much.
 
But… with Ivanka, Don, Eric, my executives…; I have great executives. I've built a great, great company. A powerful company. Very low debt. Tremendous cash flow. Tremendous. I would have…never believed it 20 years ago; 25 years ago. Tremendous cash flow. Some of the greatest assets in the world.
 
And then I filed the papers, and everyone said, “Wow!”. Cause I'm a private company. They said, “he’s much bigger than anyone ever understood!”. And…I've got rave reviews on it, from a financial standpoint. And I say it…not in a braggadocious way. That's the kind of thinking we need in this country! Because we have people that don't know what they're doing! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have people that don't know what they're doing!
 
We have 19 trillion dollars…; Do you know trillion dollars…!? Most people don't even know what it means to say a trillion dollars! And this wasn't a word that was in the vocabulary ten years ago. And now we have 19 trillion dollars’ worth of debt when you think of that.
 
Now, the budget they just approved, two weeks ago, which I…I don't know! I mean, a lot of you are shaking your heads. You know exactly what I'm talking about. The thing god done in like two…two days! If…not even two days! It was like a few…hours! Most people didn't even know they were talking about a budget! And that budget funds everything for Obama. You know, Obama's a terrible negotiator, except when it comes terrible negotiator except when it comes terrible negotiator except when it comes to negotiating against the Republicans. [Did] you ever notice? …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. And I'm not angry…; I'm not even angry! You give up with this stuff. Obama, who cares!? I'm not angry at the Democrats…because we understand where they're coming from. I'm angry at the Republicans! Because the Republicans roll over…and they just allow all of the stuff to take place!
 
And then they talk about… “we're going to try and balance our budget. In 25 years”. 25 years! Why 25 years!?
We're getting rid of a lot things. As an example, Common Core is dead. It's gone…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Common Core is gone. Our Second Amendment? We are gonna fight so that is not gonna be chipped away at. You know, they're chipping away at your Second Amendment…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLADUS. And pretty soon, if it’s up to some people, you won't have a Second Amendment.
 
You know, a couple of things have happened. Pretty big things. I’ll tell you. Paris…; remember California. It’s…the same…thing…; Not as…not as great from the standpoint…; we lost 14 great American people. In…in Paris…what happened there, what happened in California…just think of this. The gun-free zones? Paris is one of the…absolute…toughest places in the world to get a gun. One of the absolute toughest. France is like…said to be the toughest cut. You can't get a gun, unless you're a bad guy.
 
What happens is…they walk in, and they start shooting people. If…like a few of you people, were in that room and you had guns strapped to your ankle, or your waist, and the bullets were flying in the opposite direction, there wouldn't have been a hundred and thirty people killed. By the way, a 130 killed. Many, many, many right now in a hospital. So gravely injured, that they're not gonna make it. And if they do make it, it's not gonna be a pleasant life, okay? Because…there was absolutely…; they could have stayed there longer and kept shooting.
 
But they were just saying, “you, over: boom; you, over: boom”. These are animals. These are animals. And then the press calls them the masterminds. “The mastermind”. They’re not masterminds, they’re animals. And we have to stop it. We have to be so tough. We have to be so vigilant. We can't allow this to happen to our country!
 
So, in…California: 14 dead; numerous people in the hospital. Horribly injured. 14…; these are people that gave…wedding parties for the people…; they knew them! They knew them! And they walk into the room, and they started shooting!
 
So, we have to be tough. We have to be vigilant. We can't allow it to happen. And we have to protect our Second Amendment. If they had in California guns…not many! Just… if a couple of people that knew how to use them were in that room…it would have ended long before the 14th person. I can tell you that. And…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS. It's so sad.
 
I mean, you have another case, which is…uhm…just absolutely crazy. You have military bases. And you have gun-free zones on military bases. And we had five…great…young…people…killed. Military people. Two of them were world champions. One of them was the simplest…was one of the great experts on guns. A great shot. A great marksman. And their guns were…200 yards away, locked up. Because they had a gun-free zone. And this wacko comes in; sees these five guys; [and he] shoots them; kills them. Now, these were tough guys. These were guys that couldn't have been…; if they were having a gun, he wouldn't have lasted; he wouldn’t have…; he would not have gotten near the front door! I mean, one of them…, they say is one of the best! But there were all great soldiers! They weren't allowed to have a gun! Now they're supposed to protect us, and they use guns, and that's how they protect us, and yet we have gun-free zones. I will…end…gun-free zones on military bases so fast, [that] your head will spin. It'll be the first day…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. The first day.
So they're chipping away at your faith. They’re chipping away…; I mean, the words Merry Christmas. You're gonna say “Merry Christmas” a lot. Believe me, folks. You know, you go now…to a store; you go to a department store, like Macy’s, [a] very disloyal company. You go to…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. It's true! The first time I had…; when I went out…this is true. This…it’s so true! I went out, and I gave the opening remarks. And…nice, little thing in Macy's. Not big stuff: tie, shirts…; I make the opening remarks, talking about illegal immigration. And they were told they're gonna have a couple of pickets in front of Macy's. And what they did is they said, “oh, oh!”. They called, “oh, what are we gonna do? What are we gonna…?”. These are  people I knew very well! Not a big business!
 
But…they said…; I said, “what's the big deal? They'll pick it for 20 minutes and then they’ll wanna go to lunch. It's not gonna be a picket…; who cares!?” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
 
They said, “oh, but this would be bad”. In the meantime, you know, they paid all sorts of penalties and fines for non-inclusion and lots of other things, okay? But they terminated it. So, they're very disloyal. I…I…I will never forget Macy's. Cause I would have never thought that was possible! And they did it over illegal immigration!
 
Then it turned out, two weeks later…; by the way, would we be selling right? Shirts, and ties, and…perfumes. And you can get them elsewhere, by the way. Go get them elsewhere. I don't like the…; I never liked those stores very much anyway…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But…but if you think about it; if you think about it, you know, the country's about loyalty. You want loyalty in the country.
 
So, I mentioned during that speech illegal immigration, and all hell broke loose. Right? I took heat…! Rush Limbaugh, who's an amazing guy; Drudge, an amazing guy; [Do] you know Drudge? He's like one of the great people. He’s a…he’s a powerhouse…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. But…but I'll tell you. Rush said, “I've never seen anybody take more incoming than Donald Trump”. For saying something that was right!
 
Two weeks later everyone's trying to pivot to me. They're all trying to come and talk about illegal…; we wouldn't even be talking about illegal immigration…if I didn't…bring it up at that opening…day. June 16th. Now it's a long time ago! Hard to believe. Here we are. First day…but June 16th. We wouldn't even be talking about illegal immigration.
 
Now they're all trying to say…; they’re all trying to come on board. And the funny thing, my wife said to me the other day, “darling, he just said ‘wall’”. One of the candidates. I won’t even say who . What difference does it make?
 
But one of the candidates said, “we will build a wall!”. You know they way they…; they…talk…; they don’t really talk. They…they like…everything's always like…a debate. They’re talking to a reporter: “we…will…build…a wall!”.
 
I actually said about Ted, who's a nice guy. I said he's a good debater, but he's a bad talker. Does that make sense? “We will build a wall”.
 
And…my wife said to me, “that's the first time I've heard anyone say they're gonna build a wall!”. Nobody ever said [it]. Did you hear anybody say they're gonna build a wall other than Trump? And…when we get Sheriff, Joe, that really is…you know, that really validates what I'm saying. But we have to build a wall! Because without a wall, we don't have a country! People are pouring through our border! And…all over! It's like a sieve! It's like water, just pouring right through. And then Obama issues an executive order. And he said, “let them come in”. And, amazingly, the courts, at least temporarily, have stopped him. But it doesn't matter because if I get in, that'll be the first executive order I end is that executive order. We won't have to waste our money on lawyers…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're not gonna have to waste on lawyers. We're not gonna have to waste our money on lawyers.
 
So just a few things, and then we're gonna have a big day. And…and look, the big thing is…you gotta get out, you gotta caucus.  I mean, another poll just came out, Quinnipiac. Very good poll. It came…we're actually higher than even the Des Moines Register. Bloomberg, which came out yesterday, I guess there we were five or six points. Now I think we were seven points up in Quinnipiac.
 
But it all doesn't matter! Because I hear they all have these great Ground games. They got people pouring in, buses and trucks. And, you know, they're spending…they’re spending all of this money that they're given by the special interests! And the lobbyists! And…they're spending and they they have unlimited money for that. And…and so do I, frankly! I mean, you know, so far, I'm very proud of something. I've spent less money than anybody else, and I have the best result. I'm number one. It's great, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APLAUDS.
 
And that's what I wanna do…for our country. I mean, a guy like Bush, he spent a hundred million dollars and he's down at the bottom! They spent a hundred million. For the…; for our country, I want the person that's gonna spend the least and get the best result! You know, right now it's Norway…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. Well, right know in education, its Norway, Sweden, Denmark, China. These are all great places for education, right? We're number 28. In other words, we're…toward the bottom of the pack. We have…we have literally nations…that you wouldn't believe ahead of us! They're like third world nations! Ahead of us in education. And yet we spend…more money per pupil than anybody else by far! [The] second place doesn't even exist. It's so far behind.
 
So we spend more money…that's like Jeb Bush! We spend more money and we have a bad result. We're going to spend…less money…; we’re gonna bring it back locally. You're gonna take over your…; it's gonna be so beautiful. And you know, I've seen it! I've watched. I've seen parents that really joined their school boards, and joined their whole…little circle of friends, to make a school beautiful and good. And their sons and daughters graduate. And they stay on and they…they love it. They love it. They do it with love! And with intelligence, by the way. But they do it with love. Instead of having the bureaucrats from Washington running schools in Iowa, which is ridiculous.
 
So someday, we're going to have…; if I get in, I'm telling you, we're gonna spend less money [and] we're gonna have much better results. Not only an education. On everything else. You look at the military. We have a military that's being decimated. It’s being decimated. And the money spent…;   We spend tremendous amounts of moneys, but it’s being decimated.
But we’re protecting…so many countries! We protect Germany! Nobody even knows that. Does anybody know? We’re protecting Germany. You know the money…!? It’s a behemoth! It’s an economic behemoth! Of course, it’s been hurt very badly. When…when your…wonderful Angela Merkel…allowed millions of people to pour into that country. That nobody knows…where they are from…; where they are….
 
And as I left this morning, I’ve…saw something very interesting. In…Sweden. They had gangs of people in masks, and others…; Swedish people, that were…going after the…migrants. Because…there’s been tremendous crime committed. And…uhm…they've had enough. You know, they've had enough. They've had enough of the stupidity.
 
And these people, we…I believe in protecting people. But you build a safe zone. I was the first one to say it! Build a big fat, beautiful safe zone…; someplace in Syria, where…you can…you know, where you can have it. Right!? And you build it, and you put…; but you get the Gulf states! The Gulf States! Saudi Arabia, before the oil came down…but they're still doing very well…; [it] costs them less to take out oil than any…place else. But Saudi Arabia was making a billion dollars a day! And we…we…protect them for nothing! It's gonna all change, folks. It’s gonna all change!
 
We spent so much money…! Everyone says, “oh, well”…; we spend 10 times more than every other country. Or any other country. And even more than that! But you know [what] we do!? We spend it all protecting…; we spend so much of it…protecting…other…countries! And in some cases, those other countries, are economic behemoths. Like…Germany. Like…Japan. Like…South Korea.
 
We protect South Korea…and I have friends. And by the way, [I] love the people of Germany. [I] love the people of Japan. [I] love the people of South Korea. I have buildings in South Korea! It's a very great place! But we have 28 soldiers…thousand…soldiers…; 28 thousand…on our line. We have 28 thousand! Think of it! We get like peanuts!
 
So, we're protecting them…and try ordering a television set. Just give it a shot, made in the USA. There is no such thing. No such animal. They’re all made in South Korea! And…and a little bit Japan, because of Sony. But they're all made…most of them, made in…made in… I order…thousands and thousands of televisions a year. And they're all made in…South Korea. I can't…I'd love to buy here! I would love to buy here! But you can't buy here.
 
So, we're gonna have them…; and this…this isn't like…anything other than, “hey, folks, you gotta take care of us. This is a two-way street. This is not a one-way street”. We protect all these people. Every time this madman starts talking nuclear, we immediately send our ships, and…we don't get it! They pay us nothing! They pay us peanuts, compared to what it's costing us! So what are we doing it for!?
 
Do you know that…we have a pact with Japan…that…if…Japan is attacked, we have to go to war. We go to war right away. We're gonna protect Japan. But if we're attacked, Japan doesn't have to do anything. Okay? That's the way we have. In other words, if somebody attacks us, Japan doesn't have to do a thing. But if Japan is attacked, we have to immediately…come to their defense; go to war; do whatever is necessary. And just not fair! It's not even a question of not fair. It's not smart! It's not good. And they don't even respect us for it. Because they say, “can you believe!?”. I could just see these people, they’d say, “can you believe how stupid they are?”. Who would make deals like this? And we have many of them!
 
So we protect Germany; we protect Saudi Arabia; we protect different places in the Middle East. These Gulf states, aren't putting up any money toward the migrants. And by the way, I have a big heart! I wanna take care. I’d build…; but they're not coming into this country! Cause we don't know who they are. There's no way of finding out who they are. They have no papers. No documentation. They could be ISIS! And you look at those migration lines…! You look at that great migration…; do you…have you ever seen so many people? It's like…one of the lines trying to get into…our event, the other night, when we…uhm…had it the other night for the veterans. It was…; I mean, literally, it was so…; we could have filled up that…arena. We could have filled it up…ten times over. It was the most incredible thing.
 
But when you look at that migration…so…many…people…; so…many…people. And what’s the story? So many young, strong men. Young, strong men. And you say, “what's going on!?”. This doesn't look great! I mean, there's something wrong here!
 
So, we are…we're…we’re not going to allow them. And if I win, they have to go back. They're gonna have to go back. Because we cannot allow…our country…to be riddled with problems, any more than we already have! We have a tremendous immigration problem. We have so many different problems…! We don't know where these people come from! We're never gonna be able to find out, where they come from. It could be the great Trojan horse of all time. They’re gonna have to go back! We're gonna try and get the Gulf States…; I would put…; I…I’ll tell you what: I'll put a lot of pressure on them. Cause I don't wanna spend our money! I want a safe zone, but I don't wanna spend a lot of money on it! Cause we don't have a lot of money!
 
That's why we should have never given the money back to Iran. The 150 billion dollars. We should have told them, “sorry, we don’t have it!” …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. “We don’t’ have it! Sorry, folks!”. And we should have never, ever, started that negotiation until we gotten…got our prisoners back. To go through that whole negotiation…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And you watch. That's gonna lead to a lot of bad things, cause we essentially paid 150 billion dollars to get our prisoners back. That's gonna…that's gonna lead to a lot of bad things.
 
So, I just wanna say tonight is so important. This is beginning of taking our country back. It’s going to be…an amazing period of time. We're gonna all remember each other. I’m gonna remember you. I'm gonna remember the crowds, and the…the…unbelievable positive…! I mean, they…people love this country so much!
 
Somebody asked me before. One of the reporters called. And they said, “what have you learned?”.
And I said, “I learned how much people love our country”. They love our country! It’s incredible!  When I see what goes on…it's just incredible! When I see the kind…; when we have 21 thousand people in Dallas! And…we have…so many…; I mean, the crowd are so incredible! And…we had 35 thousand people in Mobile, Alabama. A couple of weeks ago, we had 20 thousand people in Oklahoma.
 
And now, we're leading all the polls. And we're leading Iowa. But it doesn't mean anything. You gotta go out tonight and caucus. I mean, you people are all fans and you're fans of…of…ourselves…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUSD. [paa1] B
 
But…tonight, you have to go out and caucus! And…uhm…it looks like the snow storm is not gonna be hitting us until…sometime. Fairly late, like…uhm…1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock in the morning. Maybe not even till the next day. And…so that's really good. Because they all say [that] the more people that go out, the more…the better we're going to do. And I don't say ‘me’. I say ‘we’. Because it is ‘we’. It's a movement! It’s ‘we’. [paa2] 
 
So, you’ve gotta go out! I…I kid when I say if you're…in bed; if you're sick; if you can't walk; if the doctor says you cannot leave; I don't care! Get out of bed and caucus…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. You gotta do it. You gotta do it….-THE CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
So, hopefully tonight we're gonna have the beginning of what’s going to be…in a certain way, a very positive revolution. I mean this would be a very, very positive revolution. We’re gonna take our country back. And we're gonna make America great again. And I love you all! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And thank you all. Special people. Thank you all! Appreciate it!
 
I’ll sign some [books and autographs]![paa3] 
 
Thank you! Thank you all.
