Oh, wow! Oh, beautiful! Tremendous!
Amazing!
You know…we love you. We love you. Amazing. It's amazing.
You know, one of the reporters just asked me, “why don't you do town hall meetings?”.
I said, “because…we have now…the equivalent…I don't know if you know, there's another room this size where it's packed also. So, we have five thousand people and…-THE CROWD CHEERS. And if we do town halls, we’ll be doing about 200 a day and we still will be able to catch up. But, I wanna thank everybody. Special people. Special place. We've had such an incredible journey, since…uhm…remember, June 16th. Since June 16th, the famous escalator ride. And…we just got back from Iowa. And, I wanna tell you, they're great people in Iowa. And…I love them…-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT-… “he says ‘you'd better’”. It’s sad. You know what? I'll tell you. We really did.
You know, I started off, and it was very interesting. [a] very interesting little…thing. It's a caucus system, which is a…uhm…much more difficult system. I don't say better, I don't say worse. But certainly more difficult. And we started off, and when I announced on June 16th, there were 17 people. I hadn't registered. I hadn't been put in polls. So I didn't know what was going to happen. And in Iowa they said, “don't go to Iowa. You don't play in Iowa”. Me!
And I said, “why? I know people in Iowa and they’re great people”.
They said, “no, no. It's not gonna work. And…if you go, it’s not gonna work”.
So, I said, “I have to do it. I wanna go there”. And I went there, and…I think we did really well. We did really well…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…they said, “if you get in the top ten, you'd be lucky”. And it actually came out. The first time it was like number 10. And then it went to eight, and it went to five…; and…we…finished number two. And, frankly, had I known we could have finished number two, maybe I would have spent more time there. I would have taken a day or two off from here, but that wouldn't have been good.
But you know, it's sort of interesting, because I'm very proud of this. I skipped the debate because I wasn't treated properly. Nor…nor…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…I wasn't. No, I wasn't treated properly. And…you know, when our country isn't treated properly, we have to behave that way also. Just so you understand. When you're not treated like you're supposed to be treated, you have to remember that. Oh, that's all right…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. These are the stats I wanted to show you…-MR. TRUMP HAS GOTTEN SOME PAPERS FROM SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD. And, you got a lot of hair blowing down here, I’ll tell you…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
And, so what happened…what happened is…I did the debate, and then I said, “you can't do that”. And they had it. We could have broken the world record. We would have broken…cause the…debate that we did, the first one, they had 24 million people. Really…I think it was even more than that after final count. And I think this thing would have had probably 26, to 28, to…29 million people. But you couldn't do it, and I’ll tell you why I’m so happy I didn't do it. Because in one hour…we raised…six million dollars for the vets…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. six million. We raised six million for the vests.
And…if you told me I could have finished first, if I did the debate, or second, plus six million for the vets, I'll take the six million for the vets all…day…long. Alright? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, we got the biggest vote. I'm just looking at statistics here…we got the biggest vote…ever, in the history of…a primary, in Iowa, the…by like…60 thousand people came out, extra. I'm not gonna say that was me, but believe me, it was me…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Well, you know, two nights ago, three nights ago, one of the candidates that I'm running against, highly respected, was here…and they had 250 people…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. So, we have 5 thousand. That should be a good sign. That's like an automatic poll…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS. Right? That's like an automatic poll.
So, the vote that I got…the vote that I got…was, other than the one vote, because we had so many people, was the biggest vote…in the history…of Iowa for a Republican…caucus. I mean, the biggest in the history…of Iowa…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS-…for a Republican caucus! You know, when you think, the…amazing thing is…the press…! Not all of them. Some were great. Some were saying, “you know, he came in second. He started off in tenth, and he came in second”. But with me, they don't like to hear second. I don’t like to hear second that much either, to be totally honest…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But, one poll came out that said I was leading by four or five points, and I guess you know, come in second, and it…the headlines where, “Trump comes in second! He's humiliated!” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. There were 17 people when we started…; now you have 11 I come in second…; I'm not humiliated! You know, you have…you have, think of it…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. These people are the most dishonest people ever. Okay? Ever!
So, Marco is a nice guy. Marco Rubio. Nice guy. And he comes in third, right? And…all of a sudden, he comes in third…; he's a senator. [He] does this stuff for a living. He's the professional politician. He comes in third…I come in second. Trump, no good. Rubio…unbelievable night. Unbelievable victory. Unbelievable! Think of it! So, you gotta think of this! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
And then they said, “he's very, very close! He's very close! Oh…he could maybe surpass…”. I…I think it's about a difference of almost 3 thousand votes. That's a lot! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. That's a lot of votes! But…you know, for Iowa that's a lot of votes. Let me tell you. But I think it was like 25, 26, and some…large amount of votes! It wasn't really close! But he came in second, the headline is… “winner of the night: Marco Rubio! Trump, humiliated!”. No, they didn't really use that word. They used like, “didn't do that well” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
And I'm saying, how come the guy that comes in third, and he's a professional politician, and…I beat him by, you know, a lot…; how come the guy that comes in third…isn't this typical…reporter…? the media…the worst…people…ever! The worst! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. The worst.
How come…the person that comes in third, on many of the networks, is being covered like it's one of the great victories in the history of…politics in this country…? And the person that's not a professional politician…; I'm a job creator. I build great companies. I build great buildings. I do a lot of great things. I've employed 10…I've…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…I don't do this crap! I've employed tens of thousands of people over the years. I'm so proud of the company. I built an unbelievable company…; in fact, they went to check it.
When I did the filing, with the FBC, federal elections, they were…see all those cameras back there? Triple them! They were down, they… “oh, they were gonna find!”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
They said…; first they said I'll never run. Right? Then they said, “he'll never…file…Form A”. Form A is…where you sign your life away. You give up everything. The family, the dog, the house…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY-…you give up the world. Then they say, “he'll never file…Form A”. Then they say, “oh! He filed Form A. Oh, he announced!”. They didn't believe it.
Then they said, “well, he'll never file his financials. And if he did, he’ll ask for the extensions”. Cause you can get an extension that goes forever. I didn't want an extension. I told one of the big accounting firms. One of the best firms in the world. One of the biggest, most respected. I said, “listen. You gotta get these done!”. I filed almost a hundred pages. Bigger than anything ever filed, with federal election. By…far! You know, these politicians, they put one page in and they need five extensions, okay? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. You know why? They're afraid somebody knows about the cash they've been taking. They wanna be careful, okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They wanna be careful. They wanna be careful. Politicians, [they are] all talk, no action![paa1] 
So, what happens…-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE-…I love you too, darling…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
So what happens is[paa2] …I go in, I file. And…they…just come back and they say, “I don't believe it!”. The company's much bigger, much better, some of the greatest assets in the world. Buildings in Manhattan. Bank of America building, big chunk in San Francisco. Some of the greatest assets…there’s Turnberry, in Scotland, where they play the British Open. So many different great assets. Doral in Miami Beach. Hundreds of acres of Miami Beach. You know Doral. So many! And they're looking…! And there's low debt! Very little debt! Almost…no debt! So, there's low debt, tremendous cash flow…and some of the greatest assets in the world!
And the number is through the roof! And…I'm not saying that to be braggadocious. I'm saying because that's the kind of thinking…we need in this country. Our country's going to hell! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's going to hell!
So, the press goes down, and they see it, and…you know, it was…it was such…a…dud…they were devastated. They thought…they'd say, “Trump is it…”. You know, they all said I wouldn't file, and I wouldn't run…because maybe I'm not as rich…as people think. Right? That's what they said. That was that. Oh! …-THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON IN THE CROWD. APPARENTLY, IT IS A PROTESTER. I'm wondering…if this can only happen at a Trump rally. This can only happen…;
Well, you know, that could be a way we get them to turn the cameras, right? And what the cameras don't have…and what the press will never, ever, ever report…is the crowds. They don't do it. They report it for Bernie!
They said…the other day, recently; I had 12 thousand people; he had 3 thousand people. They said, “Bernie Sanders had an amazing…crowd of 3 thousand people!”. I had 12 thousand…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. When it's my turn to go, “Donald Trump…made a speech today…in front of a crowd” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. It’s unbelievable. I'll tell you what. It is so dishonest. And I have friends that…are reporters. And they tell me! They can't report the truth. They…cannot report the…; they’re told what to do! And if you happen to be on ice…our side of the equation…for the most part, it's just very dishonest. I'll tell you. They're just very dishonest.
So, what I do like is…when that man holds up that sign. Oh, by the way, I should reprimand him, because…you know, remember when I took a lot of heat? Remember that!? Somebody said something that wasn't that nice to our president. And…they said, “Donald Trump did not defend the president”: I wonder if he'd defend me. Do you think he’d defend me? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’. He’d defend me.
So, they said, “Donald Trump did not defend…the president”.
And…I said, “oh, okay”. So, they said I should have defended him, and I should have done something. So, “sir, you’re reprimanded, okay?” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But we're not throwing him out, folks. Right? We're not throwing [him]…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS.
So I put in these statements, and they've been great. And…and I tell you because…I probably would have filed them even if I didn't run. You know, it takes guts to run…for president. It really does. It takes guts…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. It takes guts. Especially…you know, if you're a politician, you run, and you run, and you lose, and you win, and you run…; it’s all they do! With us…it…takes…courage. But we needed one of us. We have to do it! We have to do it. There's so…many…things…that are wrong.
So I wanted to just tell you, and I feel so good. And by the way, while I have…cause I've all those cameras going. I have to…take care of a couple of things, okay? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. For the veterans, Carl Icahn, great businessman. He’ll…I'll put him in charge of negotiating with China. We’ll stop their 500-billion-dollar trade deficit. I can tell you right now. I can tell you right now…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But I have to say this. Good guy. Tough guy. Smart guy. That's the kind of people we want. He's worth…billions of dollars. [He] doesn't want anything. He'd love to represent uh. He’d love…; We’d put him in charge of…let's say China…; let's say Japan…; let's say…one or two countries. Probably one. Cause we have some great people! We have the greatest negotiators in the world. We have the smartest business people in the world. We don't use them. We use political hacks! We used people that don't have a clue. We use people…that got their job because they give campaign contributions to these guys! The…I mean, that's how they get their job! And they don't give a damn about the country! They care about themselves. And…that's not the way that’s gonna work. Okay!
Carl Icahn, great businessman, gave 500 thousand to the vets…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS. Now, this was when I was supposed to be up…debating. Oh, big deal. This was when I was supposed to be up debating. Uhm…we have…Steve Roth, friend, [he] gave 50 thousand. We have the Fisher family, [they] gave 75 thousand. Richard Lefrak gave a hundred thousand. Donald Trump…did you ever hear of Donald Trump…!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Donald Trump gave one million dollars…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have a rich guy from New York City, a friend of mine, I can't believe it. This guy…was the worst braggart…I've ever seen. If he gave money, he wanted his name up in lights…and all of a sudden he became…like, “please, please, don't tell my name. Please!”.
I'm saying, “why!?”. The guy’s loaded, by the way. “Why!?”.
He said, “because I've changed!”. See? People can change! I've changed a little bit, right? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. People can change. I said, “you really don't want it named. I'd like…”. So I said, “look, if you don't want me to name it, I won't”. So I just called him “rich guy from New York City”, one million dollars for the vets, okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
One of the great businessmen in this country, Mr. Phil Ruffin, and his incredible wife gave…from Las Vegas and lots of other places, he’s got plenty of places. He gave one million dollars to the vets. Isn’t that great!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Ike Perlmutter, from Marvel. You know, they do the great movies. I think he's got like five of the greatest grossing movies of all time…! He's a great genius. His wife is incredible, Laurie…; one million dollars to the vets, okay? …-THE CROWD APPLAUDS. Isn’t that great, though? And there are many more. There are many more.
So, I just wanna tell you that that was such an amazing…it was just such an amazing thing. And I called these people, I said, “could you give a half a million?”. One of them said to me. I said, “could you give…?”. These are really successful people. I said, “could you give a half a million?”. He goes, “no, I won't. I'll give a million!”. Oh! I said, okay, “I'll take it”, right? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. On behalf of the vets. I'll take it. So, we have a lot of good things happening.
So the whole experience in Iowa was great. The only problem is the press didn't treat me right. Instead of saying you did really well, you didn't…do…too much over there…; I mean, I'm focused here and I have been focused here; and South Carolina, by the way, very much. But they said…instead of saying, “unbelievable job…!”; they said, “Trump, meh, he did all right. It was a little disappointing…”. Now, third place was fantastic. But it was a little disappointing…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. So, it was one of those things. So, I…I had a good time. I learned a lot. I made a lot of good friends out that night when they're really…they are great people.
One other thing I have to say because we're all…a lot of us are business people. We wanna make our country great again! All right!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Such a great theme! Is that right? Is that the greatest of all themes!? That's what it is. Somebody said, “what are you going to do for the country?”.
And I said to myself, you know, I haven’t [got] a lot of time here. This is a radio person. And we…by the way, do we have Howie Carr? He's around here someplace! Where's Howie!? Where is Howie!? Howie where the hell are you!? Is he a great guy!? We love Howie Carr! Right!? -…THE CROWD CHEERS. We love Howie Carr! And who else do we love!? We love Tom Brady! We love Tom Brady! Right!? We love Tom Brady! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. And we love coach Belichick, don't worry. He didn't…I'm telling you, he's the greatest guy. Don't…don't ever lose him.
But Tom is a great friend of mine. He's a great guy. [He] said the nicest things about me! You know, in Massachusetts, my poll numbers went up like 25 points. They went up to 48 or 51 or some…because Tom Brady said, “Trump is great”. That is good! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. You know, you don't often get too many people that say something nice where it has a positive impact. But Tom is in that category, right?
So where is Howie Carr? The legendary Howie. Cause he's here. He's got that radio going…! He has been so nice to me…! Thank You Howie. We love you Howie. He's a good guy. Isn’t he though?
So, here's the final on that whole thing. Uhm…in terms of money spent per vote…right!? Right here! Stats. Stats! Money spent for vote. I was almost…the last, in Iowa's! There's something nice about that, you know? There's something nice about that. You know, as an example on the campaign…now I'm gonna spend a lot of money. It's all my own…; I'm self-funding can you believe this? And…I'll tell you something, folks…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. Let me just tell you, cause I said it before. I told it to the press. They'll make it a big story, probably. They always make everything. And then they change it, but that's okay…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I told the press, just…we had a press conference.
I said, “I'll be honest with you. I don't think…that…I have gotten…the proper credit…for the fact that I'm self-funding”. I don't think it means anything to anybody…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…I…really! I have turned down…; if I wanted…; you know, Bush has 128…million dollars he got. Uhm…I…I mean, wouldn't he have been better off just…taking the money or throwing it out a window, or something? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
But if you look at…if you look at Ted Cruz, he's got tremendous money from the oil companies! He’s gonna take care of the oil companies! He's gonna take care of Wall Street, even though he didn't report his loans! He's gonna take care of…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…Wall Street. If you look at some of these people…all of them! …they all have money.
So, and it's all from Wall Street…; it’s from oil…; it's from…different things. Now, those people…are…a hundred percent, going to…like a little puppet. They're gonna take care of those interests. With me, I have nobody. I just wanna take care of you. I just wanna do the right thing…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But…but I…said something, at the press conference, and I don't think they knew what the hell I was talking about. Some are smart, but some of these guys are dumb as a rock. And I mean it…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. You know…you know, when this man lifted up the sign, I liked it for one reason: because they had to move the cameras around to show the crowd, okay? That's the only way they see the crowds…is when we have…uhm…if we have protesters, I love it. In fact, sometimes, I actually thinking about doing it. I'm gonna set my protesters up, in corners of rooms…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Because those cameras never move from my face, cause they don't wanna show how many people I have! They don't wanna show! It’s a movement! We have a movement going, folks! We have a movement, folks…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And…I have to be honest, uhm…and I wanna thank them before…just before it's too late. But…Scott Brown, for him to come up, and call and say, “I love what you're doing…; I love where you're going…”. He loves this area, and he loves you, people. For him to endorse me, is a very important thing…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS. So, wherever the hell Scott is, right? It's a very, very important thing.
And I've had other great important…you know, I'm just…great ones. You know, Jerry Falwell Jr., who’s fantastic; Liberty University…the job he's done…; Sarah Palin, gave us a tremendous endorsement. Tremendous! …-THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. And you know who gave me a great endorsement that you people are really gonna like, as everybody likes this…? Sheriff Joe [Arpaio], from Arizona…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. Okay? Sheriff Joe. You know, when Sheriff Joe gives you an endorsement, you know you're the king of the border, right?
You know, all these other guys that I'm competing against, they’re all…and…woman; they're all coming up, they're all coming up, and they're saying…; when I originally announced, I talked about illegal immigration. If I didn't bring it up…and did I take heat! If I didn't bring it up, it wouldn't even be a subject right now. And then all of a sudden…and I was gone…I said, “this can't be like this. You can't go on like this for months, and months. No human being can take…this amount…of incoming”: No human being.
And they were just going after me. And they said it's terrible. And then if you're about two, three weeks…people start saying, “you know, Trump has a point. He has a point…”. Now they're coming. Then, all of a sudden, four weeks, five weeks go by…; then you see the kind of tremendous crime that's being committed by the people that come into our country illegally. Tremendous crime.
Then you have the killing of Kate. Beautiful Kate, in San Francisco. Then you had the killing of Jameel. The woman. You have the killing of the woman. A 65-year-old veteran…who was raped, sodomized and killed, by an illegal immigrant. And that's…three people. That's…you have to see, what's going on. You have to see what's going, how bad it is. And not only that. The economy. And I want people to come into the country, but I want them to come in…; they have to come in…legally! Right? Legally! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They have to come in…legally.
So, we have all of these endorsements. They’re incredible endorsements. But I do have to say…one of the gentlemen that I'm competing against…; my wife is watching television the other day. And…she's listening to…this guy. Boring. Falling asleep, okay? Falling asleep. It's like a sleeper…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And…he said…I won't use the name, cause I don't wanna embarrass anybody. He said…he said, “and we will build a wall!”.
And she said, “darling, come here! Listen! He just said ‘we’re gonna build a wall’”. Who the hell ever heard of building a wall except for me!?
So now they’re gonna…; they don't give us credit! When I said…in Iraq, when I said, “take the oil!”. Right!? For four years I've been saying “take the oil!”. Then after those horrible Paris attacks, all of a sudden, they’re saying, “we will take the oil” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. The problem is they’re for years late. And when I said “take the oil”, I meant “take it!”. They mean “blow it up”. I mean “take it! Take it!”. And give some of the profits…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…to our wounded warriors…; give some of the profits to the vets, and the families that have lost people in Iraq…! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
I've been saying that…I've been saying that for…four years, “take the oil!”. And you know it. And they just did it. They…but…but they're not doing it right. You know, they don't wanna bomb the oil, because it would be, environmentally, it would be a pollution…event. It would be an event of…pollution, as they say. It will add to the carbon…footprint! No, do you believe…!? This is the way we fight our wars! Scott, do you think General Douglas MacArthur used to have the carbon footprint in mind when he bombed the hell out of…? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…right? How about General Patton? Did he think… “oh, oh, the carbon footprint!”. General Patton…! If you ever mentioned the carbon footprint, he’d just smack you in the face. He’d say, “what are you, crazy?”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. No, I…I mean, I actually heard this. I'm not sure I believe it. But I think I believe it.
They said, one of the reasons we're not bombing the oil is because they don't want that pollution going up into the atmosphere. I mean, it's…the whole thing is ridiculous. Don't forget…! We have a president that thinks that global warming…now, there’s many names. There’s ‘global warming’…; that wasn't working so well. There's…right? ‘Climate change’. There's ‘extreme weather’. The new one is… ‘extreme weather’, because it…you, how can you miss with extreme weather? Even if it's nice you say it's ‘extreme’, because it shouldn't be type…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. You know, the global warming was really bad. It was just not working.
Then they went ‘climate change’, and that was better. But… ‘extreme weather’ is like perfect. And we have a president…that talks about the biggest enemy…of the United States, right? The biggest, number one, enemy is…? …-THE CROWD PARTICIPATES. He calls it ‘global warming’. It’s global warming! Climate change! No! One of those things, he doesn’t know. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Whatever. Whatever the week. Now, we…let…let me just tell you. So climate change and the carbon footprint. So, he says for…Christmas or whatever. He wants to go… ‘Christmas’, by the way, ‘Merry Christmas!’. Don't you wanna say ‘Merry Christmas’? ‘Merry Christmas!’  ‘Merry Christmas!’. We're gonna bring ‘Christmas’ back! We're gonna bring it back! ‘Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!’. We're gonna bring it back. You see these department stores, you can't say ‘Merry Christmas’ anymore! Don't shop there! You'll say ‘Merry Christmas’ again very quickly, believe me…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But for Christmas…but for Christmas, or whatever he celebrates, he gets into a Boeing…a very, very…old…it's called Air Force One. A very, very old…Boeing 747 with the old engines. Spewing…! Spewing…! …carbon and every other…thing. I don't think it happens to hurt the air, [paa3]personally, but that's ok…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. So these old engines are spewing into the atmosphere…! And think about the carbon footprint. But he's only going to Hawaii. So he's going from Washington to Hawaii. He's gonna play golf like…so many times. You know, he plays more golf than people on the PGA Tour. You know that, right? They admire him! They say, “if they could play that…much, they'd be even better players”.
So he's…taking the Boeing 747, flying to Hawaii…! You know how long that is? Old engines. These are the big old engines. Spewing fumes…; he's over there for two, or three weeks playing golf. He then gets back, hops in the plane, flies back to Washington. Then he comes back, and he talks about…global warming's our biggest problem. Somehow, I think that…ISIS…; Russia…; Radical…Islamic…terrorists…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Right? China…! This maniac from North Korea! Somehow, I think that that's a bigger threat than global warming, right now. Okay? Some are…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
The only global warming we should be fearing folks, is global warming caused by nuclear weapons. And if we're not smart, that's what's gonna happen. We better get really tough. Really smart. Really vigilant. Or we can have a problem. We better stop playing games, believe me. We better stop playing games…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, we've become the policemen…to the entire world. We take care of the world. They pay us peanuts! We take care of Japan. A lot of people don't even know that. I mentioned Japan. People go, “we don't have…”. We have.
Now, here's the deals we’re making. If…we are attacked…; somebody attacks us. Wouldn’t you rather have Trump as president if were attacked? Oh, we'll beat the shit out of them! Anybody attacks us…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know, interestingly…speaking of potential, because he hates Obama so much, Putin. He said, “Donald Trump is a genius…and he's the real leader over in that country”.
And these…people that I'm negotiating with all the time. These people on the stage with me. They said, “you should disavow…what Putin of Russia said”. I said, “I'm not disavowing that he called me a genius…and…; are you crazy?”. Don't worry. I can't be seduced…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But, wouldn't it be nice if you think about it? Would it be nice if we actually got along with Russia…? and others…? and we can use them to knock out ISIS with us…? So that maybe we don't always have to pay for it…. Knock the hell out of them. But, let them drop some of their bombs…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…that cost a million dollars apiece. Let them use some of their weapons, that cost billions and billions of dollars. Let them beat the out of ISIS also! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Right!? Right!? It’s so crazy!
By the way, I have to say, “thank you”. Oh, I love…look at Al.! Al., my number one vet. “Hey vets, is Al. taking good care of you?”…-THE CROWD YELLS ‘YES!’. If he doesn't take care of you, I will say, “Al., you're fired! Get out of here Al.!”.
Al’s a great friend, he’s become my friend. And I'm taking care of the vets. I told you before. We're gonna build our military so great, so strong…nobody's gonna mess with us. Nobody's gonna mess with it. Don't forget, Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, both the same day they said, “I don't like Donald Trump’s tone!” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Now, that day, three heads were chopped off in the Middle East. And they worried about my tone. But don't forget this is. It’s important. I'm the one that didn't wanna go…and…raid Iraq. And beat the hell out of Iraq. Cause I said, “you're gonna…destabilize the entire Middle East”. And that was Reuters in 2004, and before that. Reuters, 2004! I said, “don't do it! You're gonna destabilize…”. That's exactly what happened! We have destroyed…; what happened is the Middle East is totally destabilized. Iran…which made one of the great deals ever, with a 150 billion dollars…; they're gonna make nuclear weapons. They’re gonna self-inspect. How about that!? They’re gonna self-inspect…-THE CROWD BOOS.
“Listen, we hear…”, here's our president…-MR. TRUMP IMPERSONATES MR. OBAMA. “We hear you're making nuclear weapons. Would you please check the area and…call me back tomorrow?”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
“President Obama…? I give you my word! I give you my word, we have just self-inspected. We are not going to…ever…ever…! … make nuclear weapons in those areas”…-MR. TRUMP IMPERSONATES THE IRANIANS.
And then the guys go in, “right?”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. Isn’t it sick? I mean, isn't it crazy? And then they have the other. Not only self-inspection. But then they have the other. A 24-day period.
So, if we think they're making nuclear weapons, we have to inform them…the clock…starts ticking…maybe in a month, or two months, or five months…before the 24 days kicks in. Right? So this thing could go on forever. In the meantime, they clean it up.
They said, “oh, 24 days wouldn't be enough to clean up”…not for me to clean up anything 24 days, right? And…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…and…and paint the floor battleship gray. So, when we walk in, we say, “oh, nothing’s happening here!”. So, to get 24 days.
This is the dumbest agreement I think I've ever seen! Done by your man. He's up from this area! Kerry! Is he the worst negotiator…? …-THE CROWD BOOS HEAVILY. I hear he wants to run for president. If Hillary gets put in prison. That's what I hear…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. You know what? He can't run for president. That deal is so bad…! Boy, would I love to run…! Just that one day…; I don't even have to talk about how…else he's messed up.
That deal is so bad…; would we love to run against Kerry? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘YES!’. Just with the deal. All we have to do…; we paid a hundred and fifty billion dollars…for four prisoners, right? A 150 billion. Now, the most amazing thing…you wouldn't have started…anybody in this audience. No, not anybody; about 95 percent. You would have walked in. You would have said, “we want our prisoners back”. This is like four years ago. This thing is the longest-running deal I've ever seen. You would have said, “I want our prisoners back”.
They would have said, “no, no, no”. You would have left. You would have doubled up the sanctions. They would have called you back…almost immediately.
And they would have said, “take your prisoners”, right? We have our prisoners.
Then, you make sure the prisoners have landed. The prisoners now have landed! This is The Art of the Deal, by the way. The prisoners have landed! Now you go in a second time.
And you say, “fellas…”, you know, I like to take the lumps out. My father was…[he] used to say, “son, you're too tough. Try taking the lumps out”. I say, “okay, pap”. So, I like it…be nice.
So instead of saying, “we're not giving you…a 150…billion dollars”. You know what I said to that way…too tough. You know, too challenging. You say it this way: “fellas, we got a problem…” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS-… “…we owe 19 billion dollars”. Our stupid people in Washington…just approved a budget three weeks ago. How about that budget? They're getting everything.
You know, Obama is a horrible negotiator…except when it comes to negotiating with the Republicans. He's a genius at negotiating with the Republicans! He's horrible with Iran…! with Russia…! with China…! with Japan…! But with the Republicans, he gets everything he wants! We send these people there…;
You know, I don't mind the Democrats, cause we know where they're coming from. But we send the Republicans there. [And] they're gonna get rid of Obamacare. They're gonna get rid of…100 different things. They're gonna cut the budget. They're gonna balance the budget. They're gonna do all these things, right? They go there…what happens? What happens? You know, I tell the story. They walk into the beautiful halls of Congress. They walk in…and they see the Capitol building. And they look up and they see the beautiful ceiling. And they see the columns that go so high. Beautiful marble. And they say, “Alice…!”, or “Jim…!”. “Alice…”, let's…use ‘Alice’, for this one…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. “Alice, [paa4] we've arrived. We've made it. Now we've made it”. And then they say, they go in for a first vote: “do you approve an extension of Obama…”, right? Of who? Obamacare! “Do you approve…an extension…of Obamacare!?”.
“Yes, sir. Yes, sir”. It's disgusting! It's disgusting! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And by the way, I have been opposed to Obamacare…from the day they conceived it. And…Ted Cruz, comes out with an ad that I'm in favor of Obamacare. Can you believe this!? Just like he did with Carson. Where Carson, he said…; [he] left…Iowa! He's out of the race! [He] voted for him! Did you hear about this one? He's…he said he left Iowa! Carson's a nice guy, Ben. So, Ben…is all of a sudden getting calls, that he quit the race! These guys said he quit the race. He's gone! He's out! Send your votes to him! What kind of people are we dealing with these politicians!? And…and made up…-SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘LIAR!’-… “liar, honestly! …-and made up stories! Made up stories! Everybody in here, many of you know me. From day one, I've been talking about…we're gonna repeal and replace Obamacare. From day one.
Now, remember…I’m gonna do it! We're gonna do it…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. If you remember, so important…! From day one I've been saying…repeal and replace Obamacare! I've been talking about the five-billion-dollar website that never worked…for years. Right? All of a sudden, I see an ad…or something… “Donald Trump is in favor of Obamacare!”.
And people are calling, “oh, I thought you were against it. That's too bad!”. These are dishonest people, these politicians. These are worse than real estate people in New York, I'm telling you…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. No, no these are truly dishonest people.
Then he said, “Ben Carson has quit the race!”. The day of the election! Ben Carson…during a caucus! Ben Carson…has quit the race! And…they didn't quit the race! In other words, Ben Carson quit, and…let me have your votes. What kind of crap is this? And then…he makes up a thing that says like it's on a government document. Voter violation. It says on top. Just like it comes right out of government. Municipal. Voter…violation. And it talks about…it gives grades: F, F, F, F…you haven't voted. But it says you can go vote, but you gotta go vote for him. And people are afraid. They think, “oh, I'm in violation! I have to go and vote”. What kind of people are these people?
And then the…Attorney General…in Iowa, is investigated, but by that time they're all gone the election’s over! What kind of people do we have…running for office!? No, it's…honestly? Really, really dishonest! And I think I know why. You know why!? Because he was born in Canada! He was…! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [He] happens to be a problem, folks. That happens to. You watch. The Democrats…; they've already said. They're gonna sue him. He gets the nomination, they're gonna sue his ass off. Actually [they’re] gonna sue the country, but they're gonna sue him. And that's a big problem.
I wanted to mention one other thing, because…in Iowa, while we're talking about Iowa…; so, price…per head per vote. Leading the pack, ladies and gentlemen, with the…fabulous…-SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT LAUGHING-… “he just shouts out Bush. How did you know?” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. So Bush got one percent or two percent. Leading the pack…the man that spent…the most money per vote…; the legendary Jeb Bush…with a number of…this is per vote…! …-SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT -… “no, but you're not so far off” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. 2884 dollars per vote! You know, you could have won the election. Just promise everybody a thousand bucks, and you could have won it. You would have saved money. Right? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. You would have won! You would have saved a lot of money.
So, Jeb Bush spent almost three thousand dollars a vote. That's gotta be a record, right? Is that in the Guinness Book? Would you check the get this on the book of world record? You have others with tremendous numbers…; Marco spent a lot! Almost 300 dollars a vote. But at least he had a pretty good result. He came in third…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. No, no, he had a fantastic result! Unbelievable…! Unbelievable, he came in third! The guy that came in second? Oh, terrible night. Terrible. Terrible night. Dishonest people…-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS FOR A WHILE. THE CROWD LAUGHS, CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Dishonest people.
Look at these numbers. So, hundreds and hundreds of dollars in the…in the Jeb…pay …you know, close to three thousand dollars a vote. So, who's one of the lowest? I’m just about the lowest. Lowest! The great Donald Trump. Lowest. …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. The great Donald Trump.
By the way, I'm very proud of the fact that…I have spent…less money than just about anybody else on the campaign. And I’m gonna start spending a lot…for two reasons. Right? Number one: I don't wanna take any chances. Number two: I feel guilty. Because…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…when Jeb is now spent 119 million, or some ridiculous number…and much of it…is…sort of earmarked to me. Ads! They can't be very good, because every time he takes an ad, my numbers go up. It's a crazy deal! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But…but…so, I've spent…cause, nationally, I'm leading every poll. In the state, I…I mean, honestly, other than Iowa, which was the weakest one I had…; but in the state, I’m leading the states…; leading here, tremendously. But every…single…national…poll…I'm leading. And just about, I think, every state poll I'm leading. So, I spent the least…and I have the best result, right? Right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Ain’t that nice?
Now, others have spent, like Jeb, like a couple of others, they've spent the most…! And they have the worst result! How the hell can you put them in charge!? Now, think of this. Think of this: we have…a school system. We are getting rid of Common Core, by the way, and we are preserving…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. Education in the United States…is the most expensive per pupil in the entire world, right? The most expensive in the entire world…and there is no second place, because it's so much lower, it's ridiculous. Norway, Denmark, Sweden, China…these are like the top four or five…places, for education. We're number 30. I used to say ‘28’, right? We just went up two notches. We're now number 30 in the world. We spend the most per pupil by far…and we have the worst education by far. So, we're now number 30, and we spend the most. Wouldn't it be nice if they did like Trump? Where I spend the least and I have the best result. Wouldn't that be good? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Wouldn't that be great?
Now, so important. And that's what I mean. Our budget…; they said, “we are working on the budget, and we think within 25 years we can balance the budget”.
I said, “25 years!? 25 years!?”. These are serious people! They said 25 years to balance the budget. I'm talking about doing it relatively quickly, and I mean we're gonna have a better country. We're gonna have better service! We're gonna get rid of the waste, fraud, abuse…all of the…all of the waste! …a disgusting waste! ..and the fraud! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You look at the Veterans Administration…! Take a look at what's happening in Phoenix, Arizona. It's one of the great fraudulent scams you've ever seen! The Veterans Administration. We're gonna take such great care of them! What's going on is unbelievable. And we're gonna make our country so strong it's so solid! I said the other day we're gonna make our country rich again. And a woman said, “Mr. Trump, that doesn't sound nice”.
I said, “we can't be great unless we’re rich”. We're a debtor nation! That horrible budget I told you about, a little while ago, that's worth two…trillion…dollars! That takes care of…our border, letting everyone in, that Obama wants to come in. That takes care of the Syrian refugees, who were never gonna let in folks. I have a big heart, but we’re never letting them in. We don't know who they are. We don't know where they come from. It's not gonna happen! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's not gonna happen!
And anybody…and anybody…that comes in, I want everybody to know…! We have to send them back. We cannot take chances! We can't afford it! We can't afford to make mistakes like that. You know, we have the two people, that were radicalized, probably she radicalized him. The… ‘married…couple’. How great. Who, in California, killed 14 people with plenty…very badly injured in the hospital, right? We didn't know this! We didn't know anything about it!
We had Paris, where they have the toughest gun laws in the world. The toughest! Because we're gonna preserve our Second Amendment. We're not touching that Second Amendment. Unless we're gonna make it stronger…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Unless we’ll make it stronger!
So…Paris has the toughest gun laws in the world, right? The toughest in the world! You can't have a gun, unless you're a bad guy, no problem! So these disgusting thugs, walk in, to various places, and start shooting people. “Boom! Boom! Boom! Move over, boom!”. 130 people dead. Many people so gravely injured…that they will be…gone. They're gonna be dying. There dying now! And other people are gonna live a life, but they’re gonna live a life in hell, because they're so horribly injured.
Now, if we had a few people in this room…I can look at them. That guy right there. He's a mean…-MR. TRUMP STARTS POINTING AT PEOPLE IN THE CROWD. THE CROWD LAUGHS. And if we had a few of the people. “You! You! You!”. Let me pick a woman. “You” …-THE CROWD CHEERS. And if somebody had a gun…on their belt. Or somebody had a gun…wrapped around their ankle. And those bullets started…coming at you. Or you see they were going to. And you shoot the hell out of them…; folks, that's the only form…it's our…it's our…form of protection…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You wouldn't have the carnage that you had there!
How about the military base!? Five…great…young…soldiers! A gun-free zone! One of the soldiers is a world-class marksman! One of the best in the world. They're all top-of-the-line soldiers. They're told to disarm; take their guns; put them…two hundred yards away. Sealed! A wackjob walks in …; these five…great…beautiful…soldiers. Tough. Smart. Tremendous future. This whack job walks in and blows them away. [He] kills all five of them. That was it! Because you know what? When these crazy people see… “gun-free zone” …that's like saying ‘candy’ to a baby, right? That's candy to a baby!
So we're gonna protect our Second Amendment. We're gonna protect ourselves. We are not touching our Second Amendment. And it's under siege…; they're playing now with bullets! They're playing now with magazines! They're playing with a lot…! We are going to protect our Second Amendment…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Remember that.
So when I started, and when this all began on June 16th, coming down the escalator, it was all about border protection…; and speaking of Border Protection…! Ann Colter! She has been such a great help…to me! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Where is she in!? Where's our Ann!? Where is our Ann? “Ann, where the hell are you!? “Stand up Ann!”. Oh, she’s standing up! She is so great, right?
“Adios amigo!”. Is that right!? Bestseller…right Ann? Okay? She is so great…! She has been so supportive of us…! She wants border security! She wants people to come into the country, legally! She wants people to come in, they have to come in…through a process! But there's nobody stronger on the subject. Is that right? And I love the book. I read the book. Go out and buy the book, everybody! Right!? Great person. She's a great…; she's a great person.
So, when I started this whole…deal. I’d just come down…and I talked about that. I talked about Obamacare, repealing it. I talked about…the military. I talked about…the vets. I talked about…social security. Because we're gonna save our social security. And I talked about trade! I talked about trade like nobody else…can talk about trade. When Carl Icahn…endorses me…; and many of the best business…men in the world, and women. They wanna endorse me. I say, “don't bother. Nobody knows who the hell you are”. It's true! You know? Not like the great Scott Brown. Nobody knows who they are! But they're the best business people in the world.
So, when they endorsed me, and we’ll use them…good; I talked about trade. China is making a fortune off us. We can't do it. Vietnam…! Japan…! Mexico…! …both at the border, and with trade…! You gotta see what's moving. Nabisco…! …moving…their big plan from Chicago into Mexico. Ford…! …building one of the biggest auto plants in the world. Two and a half billion-dollar auto plant. In Mexico. What the hell are we doing!? What are we doing!? We're bringing back our jobs.
Now we have a case, it’s called ‘corporate inversion’, where…companies, used to move like from here to Florida. Or from here to Texas. Or…from Texas to here! Now we have a problem! Now we have companies…they don't wanna move to Florida. They don't wanna move to Texas. They don't wanna move to…New Hampshire! Boy, have you taken a beating by the way! You talk about companies leaving…! You're like a prime example! What they've done to you is incredible! But, we're gonna bring them back. We're gonna make it so they come back.
So, now we have corporate inversion, where companies like Pfizer…! Pfizer…! …great companies…are moving…outside of the United States! Because taxes are too high! By the way, my bill…; and Larry Kudlow and so many others, they think it's great. I put in tax policy. Big, big cuts…for the middle class! The middle class in this country has been decimated…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. Big, big cuts…for business! Big! We are the highest…taxed…nation…in the world! Big, big cuts! Right now. It's gonna pass. It's gonna go through. I get things done. That's what I do. I get things done. I deal with politicians all my life. We’ll get it passed. We’ll get it passed! ...-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
So, I used to talk about that, and then when we had that horrible event…in Paris. And we had…the horrible event, as you know, in…California. And we had many other horrible events. I brought up the fact…that we have to now…start talking seriously…about radical…Islamic…terrorism! We gotta talk about it! …-THE CROWD TIMIDLY. And I said it, and it was just like…happened with the illegal immigration! I said it, it was heat…; two weeks later, everyone's coming over. And now they're all trying to be tougher than me. Nobody can be tougher than me, by the way. But they're all trying to be tougher than me.
So now, I talked about…the whole situation. There is such hatred out there. When people…are flying airplanes into the World Trade Center…; when people are doing all of these acts…; not just here, all over the world! And I have friends that are…Muslim! They call me. They say, “you have done a great service”. There is tremendous hatred! You cannot solve a problem like that…unless you start talking about it. We have a president that will not even discuss it, or talk about it, or use the words! He won't say ‘radical…Islamic…terrorism’! It's real! It's a problem! And you can't solve the problem unless you're going to be able to talk about it! So we've had tremendous…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I took a lot of heat! And now everybody is saying, “thank you so much”. and it's under discussion! It's a big, big problem. And you know what? We're gonna get it solved. One way or the other, we're gonna get it solved. But we can no longer be…the stupid country. We can no longer be…the country that's led by incompetent people. We can no longer be…the country…that takes sergeant Bergdahl…! …a traitor! A dirty, rotten traitor…and take him…and take him; and swap him…for five…of the biggest killers…that they have in the Middle East…that they've coveted, and wanted…for a period of at least nine years! So, think of it! We get Bergdahl, and they get these five killers…that are already back in the battlefield, trying to kill everything in front of them, including us!
We're not making deals like that anymore, folks. We’re not making deals like that anymore…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
So, just to finish off, you have to see the cover of Time magazine last week. Amazing…amazing cover. Amazing writer. I never spoke to him! You know, I do better when I don't speak to the writers. When I speak to them, they kill me…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. This was a Time… “Oh, give me that magazine. Throw that up here! Go on, just throw it! Go ahead, just…! Ugh, weak arm!” …-MR. TRUMP ENCOURAGES A PERSON IN THE CROWD TO GIVE HIM THE MAGAZINE, BUT THE MAGAZINE FALLS SHORT. THE CROWD LAUGHS. SOMEBODY PASSES IT ON AND MR. TRUMP SHOWS IT. “That's okay”. You have to go out get this magazine. This talks about our movements. It’s a movement! This talks about the movement. This is…; you know, in the old days they would have said ‘silent majority’. It's really not the right…; it's really the noise in majority. People are angry! They're upset! They're…they’re…they just…; they can't even believe that this stuff is happening! They can't believe it!
We are going to make…our country…so strong. We're gonna make it so just. And we're gonna have a big heart. We're gonna take care of people. We gotta take care of people! There are people that can't…take care of themselves. We're gonna help people! But we're gonna make our country…so good..! We're gonna start winning. We're gonna win with healthcare. We're gonna win with our military…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. We're gonna win…with our veterans…; we're gonna win with every single thing we touch. We're gonna win against China in trade! We're gonna win against Mexico at the border and with trade! We're gonna win against Japan…where they send us millions of cars, and we can't send anything of value back to them…! We're gonna start winning again. We're gonna win so much…! And we…are going to make…our country; we are going to make this great, great country…even greater! We're going to make America great again! I love you all! …-THE CROWD CHEERS VIVIDLY.
I love you!
I love you!
We love you! Thank you
Thank you, everybody!
Thank you!
