Well, you know, we're down to crunch time, folks. We gotta do it. We gotta do it! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Like at five thirty today, you know where you're gonna be, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And watch out for dishonest stuff, because I'll tell you what. A lot of dishonesty with us. We've…just gotta be careful. They have paper ballots and the whole deal going. Paper ballots, right? So, just watch out. If you see anything, let us know about it. But we have a…lot of people watching, because what's going on…and what goes on is…really…quite terrible. Of course New Hampshire was a hundred percent legit, and beautiful…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know that, right? South Carolina? Absolutely perfect…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And hopefully by tonight we'll all be together, [and] we’ll say this one was absolutely perfect…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, we have tremendous poll numbers here, but you never know. I mean, dishonesty can knock out a poll very quickly. And that's the only way we lose, in my opinion. That's the only way we lose. This is a great State. I employ a lot of people. I spent a lot of money here. Nobody else did. I have spent a tremendous amount of money…in this state. And I'll tell you, uh…I love it. I love it. You know what I did. I have…I think I have the best hotel…in the entire state…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And it's so adjudged. And I love it. And I'm here a lot. And I have a lot of friends here and these other guys…they are all gone!
You know what? They made their little speech this morning and they ran away…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And you shouldn't be voting for people…it's like when I talk to THE…I was with the folks from Arkansas. A great place. And I said, “Hillary and Bill Clinton abandoned you! How can you vote for them! How can you be with them!?”. Arkansas. It's true! Well, these guys they never abandoned you, cuz that never here! But they made a couple of speeches and they're gone. And they're gone, and you'll never see them again, believe me. So that's a…; but Trump?  I'm gonna be here with you all night! All night!
So, five thirty, I mean, my…my most important thing? Five thirty, you have to get out, and you have to caucus. But you don't have to caucus! You know [what is] the nice part? This is a little bit different. We really insisted. You have a great chairman. A great state chairman. We really insisted, it’s so important that you go in, you can vote, and leave. You don't have to sit around like a bunch of…dopes! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. You can go in, and you vote. You know, and you get out! Although you could go and vote, put your thing in, and then watch that everything else is honest, okay? ….-THE CROWD CHEERS. That's another way of doing. Stick around for a little while.
So, you know a lot of things happened, uh…a big poll just came out in the state of Ohio, where Trump is leading by a lot, okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That's pretty good, right? So, we're shaking things up. Uh…[A] poll just came out in Florida, where Trump is leading by a lot. A lot! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I have a feeling Texas is gonna be very good also, if you wanna know the truth…-THE CROWD CHEERS. Because…uh…Cruz has gone down…a lot in the last few days. You see what…;
You know, when you hold up a Bible…and nobody loves the Bible more than I do. When you hold up a Bible…you don't then put it down and go around lying, and doing a lot of things that are wrong. And…I…I have to tell you. What he's been doing is terrible. And that he's been getting away with it, but now he hasn't been…getting away with it, cause yesterday he fired his…director of communications, who I always thought was a decent guy. He's taking orders from Cruz, folks! I mean, give me a break! …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
And...you know, he didn't report that he had big loans with Goldman Sachs and with Citibank…; and  he puts in his financial disclosure form, and he didn't…because he's Robin Hood. You know? He's gonna help you with the banks! He's gonna tell those banks…what to do! He's gonna be…-MR. TRUMP SAYS IT IN A SARCASTIC TONE. Believe me, folks. [He’s] got two loans, for a million dollars. And he didn't put them down! He didn't disclose the loans, okay? …-THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. No, well think of it! And you would love to pay the interest rate. He had very favorable…they call it ‘very favorable’. How about like…he’s paying, practically, no interest, all right? Now, I know why he's doesn’t want that disclosed. We all know why he doesn’t…; but, you gotta be honest. You gotta be honest. And we’ll see…I mean, look…is that a correct statement? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPPLAUDS.
So, we have to be careful, but I think we’re gonna win. I mean, I…I shouldn't say this, because I know we’re gonna do well there. I've been to Texas many times and I have so many friends in Texas. They all call me. Mark Cuban, actually, gave us the…Dallex…Dallas Mavericks arena, and…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…he gave it to us on a Thursday, and by Monday it was like…you had to see that place! 21,000 people. It was the most…incredible…evening.
But we've had 35,000. We've had 20,000 all the time. We have by far…the biggest crowds. Look at this. Now, the press won’t show it. The press will show these few people back here, right? The press…-MR. TRUMP TURNS AROUND AND THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…no, no. The press  isn’t gonna show this. The press isn’t gonna show that corner. They’re the most…they’re the most...dishonest. No, they’re really dishonest people: They are disgusting, I’ll tell you….-THE CROWD LAUGHS. No, they’re the most…they’re the most dishonest. They're probably worse than Cruz, but not…not much…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
Well, you know it's…it’s sort of sort of funny how they tell you what to do. You know, like they're great; like they're great, like they know. Uh…the New York Times, which is… forget it. I call it the failing New York Times. They buy a building, and they have a building, in New York. They…sell it…for 125 million or so, right? A couple of years, [a] little few years later, [a] guy sells it for 525 million. And then they tell you what to do. They buy the Boston Globe, for 1.3 billion dollars…! They sell it for one dollar, and then they write an editorial where they tell you how to run your life. Give me a break! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
And actually, if you think of it, I know why I get bad treatment in The New York Times, because it's owned by Mexico! I don't know if you know…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. A rich guy in Mexico, actually, has power at The New York Times. I wonder why they don't like us! You know, I just wonder.
But think of it: 1.3…billion…dollars they pay for the Boston Globe. They sell it for one dollar, and they lose a lot of money in the meantime. They spent a fortune on computers, and this, and that…! They ran it for, I don't know, seven or ten years or something…losing a fortune! So they lost much more than 1.3. So, they buy it for 1.3 billion, [then] lose money for years, [and] spend tremendous money on it. They sell it for a dollar, and they tell us how to run our lives!? These people…-THE CROWD BOOS. Stupid. I call them ‘the stupid people’…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And we should![MOU1] 
Uh…I…I could go into a couple of other papers, but they've actually been treating me fairly nice lately, so I won't bother, you know? I won’t bother.
So, we have a really big…thing happening. We…have…a…unbelievable movement going on. Look at this room! I mean, we have….-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. We have 2,000 people that got sent away. Look at the size of this! Because the fire department wouldn't allow any more people. I can't imagine that, right!? I mean we're only bursting at the seams. I wanna see the fire marshal. They said, “sir we're bursting at the seams. My own people. You can't get any more people”.
But, this is happening all over. It's a movement. And Time magazine recently did a cover story. [It] was a great story by a great writer. And it talked about the movement that's taking place. It talked about the fact that we wanna take our country back…; we wanna be a smart country again. We don't wanna be…run by stupid people…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And they talk about the fact that there's a certain anchor, you know…uh…Nikki Haley, who backed…the wrong horse, the other day, you saw that. I had the lieutenant governor…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…who's a terrific guy, and he won.
She had…who the hell did she back? Yeah, Rubio…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Who, by the way, I've been very nice to! I've been very nice. People say, “why is he so nice!?”. Because he hasn't hit me. When he does, he will…you will see what happens…-THE CROWD LAUGHS, CHEERS, AND APPLAUDS-…no. When he hits me…;
So far, if you look, and I'm not bragging! I…this is fact! In fact, one of the big newspapers…the other day, covered it very nicely. And they said…major story. Biggest newspaper. Front page. I won't say which newspaper, cause usually I don't like the newspaper, but the biggest. And they had a…front page about Jeb, who is a very nice person. [Do you] See what I say? Now that he's out, everybody's nice…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. When they're out, they’re nice, they ran a brilliant campaign…! Sure he spent a 150 million dollars on ads and I spent practically nothing. Sure I'm in first place and he was at the bottom of the heap! He ran a brilliant campaign, folks! It was brilliant! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. No, he was…he as not nice to me, I will tell you this. He was not nice to me. And he ran tremendous numbers of negative…millions and millions of dollars of negative ads.
But they had something, it was…all about…they had it planned; he was the presumptive winner…; when he announced…I don't know if you know, he announced a day before me. When I saw him…I had announced the following day or something. But, he was presumptive! He was going to be the winner. And he went out, he announced, and it…went to like 22 and 23 percent. And everybody else stayed out. Romney stayed out. He didn't think he could beat Bush. Well, he didn't think he could beat, you know, his…; he had the worst…he had a guy named Stuart Stevens, who is the worst…campaign manager.
And now this guy is on television saying, “this is the way you beat Donald Trump!”. This is the guy [that] couldn't beat Obama! He's a failed president….-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. Stuart Stevens…! Every time I see him on television, his hatred…; he starts shaking. They mention Trump's name, and he starts…; his hands start to shake! He starts to sweat! But other people start to sweat too, don't they? Huh
But…but, you know, I…I…I’ve…in all fairness to Mitt, Mitt tried very hard. He had the wrong campaign manager, and…unfortunately, Mitt, the last month, he gave up! He gave up even though he was leading! He could have won! We had a failed president, and we had somebody that just had very bad advice, between Stuart Stevens and the other people. And maybe…you know, you gotta say it’s Mitt’s fault!
But, I backed Mitt Romney and he failed. I backed John McCain…and he failed. This time I said, “I'm gonna do it myself!”. Okay!? Believe me…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. Believe me…!
And it's been an amazing thing! I mean, it's been…to watch it, and to see it, and to see it grow…; we started off…practically from the beginning. You know, before they wouldn't poll me, the press: They wouldn't poll me. And…they just wouldn't do it.
And…yeah, do…I felt good about that. I felt good about that. But they wouldn't do it. And they wouldn't poll me because they said, he's not gonna run, “we are not gonna be used by Donald Trump!”, they said. “We refuse to be used! And Mr. Trump is just having a good time!”. Believe me, I can be someplace else. I do love you, people, but I could…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I could be on a boat right now…; I could be doing a lot of things…; no, I don't wanna be. I don't wanna cause, you know, the theme…make America great again? We're gonna make it greater than ever before! Greater than ever before! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And from the beginning, when I went out…and my wife said it to me! She said, “darling, you know if you run you're going to win!”.
I said, “how do you know?”.
She said, “because…uh…she's a very smart woman, actually. She is very, very smart. She said, “because I see the way people react to you. And if you run…! Now, if you don't run, you will never, ever…look good. You will never, ever…”. [It was] not that she wanted me to run. She preferred that I didn't. She likes our life. I mean, it's a nice life! This is a crazy life, folks! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I mean, honestly…! You meet…I'll tell you what! I said it yesterday. You meet some bad people! This guy, Ted Cruz, is the single…biggest…liar I have…ever…dealt with in my life! …-THE CROWD BOOS. I mean it! I've never seen…; he will lie about anything! And…you meet some…;
Now, I've met much tougher people than Ted Cruz. He's like a baby compared to some of the people I have to deal…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. He is like a little baby. Soft, weak, [a] little baby, by comparison! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But for lying…he's the best I've ever seen! He’s the best…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Of course, really, the great liars are the ones that don't get caught, right? The ones that get caught, they're not really great liars. I mean, he really got caught!
While Hilary…Hilary, so far is doing a good job! Hillary…think of it! Hilary…-THE CROWD BOOS-…you know, somebody shouted out the name ‘Hillary’, and...and I will say this: there has nobody…nobody, has ever committed the crimes…that she's committed, and so far she's sailing along! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. She's being protected! Hillary is being protected! And I…I have to be honest with you. I don't think Hillary…has the strength or the stamina to be President. I really mean that! [She] doesn't have the strength…; and remember what I said. Remember what I said low energy for somebody else? I didn't…I won't mention names. Hillary…I'm very good at this stuff. You need tremendous strength…and you need tremendous…stamina. And Hillary will come in for a meeting, she'll see a few people; they'll…vet all the people, “what are you gonna ask her?”.
“What kind of cereal she has, for breakfast” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
“What are you gonna ask her?”.
“Where does she buy her clothing”…-THE CROWD LAIUGHS TIMIDLY
[Have] you ever see[n] anybody so…? I walk into lines and I don't who the hell's in this room! But whoever it is, I love you! Okay? I love you! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But, with Hilary…[she] doesn't have the strength. Remember I said it! She doesn't have the strength. She doesn't have the stamina. She'll do an event, she goes away. She'll do a debate, she goes away. She needs…tremendous…;
We have…the worst trade deals…in the world. We're losing on trade. We're losing with our military; we can't beat ISIS. We're losing with healthcare. Obamacare is a disaster! We're gonna repeal it and replace it…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We're losing with Common Core. It's gonna be ended and we’re bringing education back locally…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're losing with…big league, with…the border. And we're gonna build a wall and Mexico's gonna pay for the world. That's right…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That’s right. We're building the wall…;
And..you know, we have…even beyond the wall! We have great, great…people…at the border! We have Border Patrol people. They would call me up. And they call me now! A have friends now! They're like my friends! They're great people! They wanna do their job! They're told to stand back! They're all set. They have the uniforms. They have the whole deal. “Stand back!”. And people walk right in front of them. They don't want that! They called me! ·Could you come down? Could we show you what's happening?”. We have people pouring through the border…that are not supposed to be here. And we're gonna let people…come into our country! But they're going to come in…legally! They're gonna come in legally! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And we are gonna build the wall! And the wall is gonna be a beautiful wall. It's gonna be a very tall wall. Much taller than this very low ceiling. Believe me…-THE CROWD CHEES. It's gonna be a wall that if you get up there, you're not gonna wanna come down. It's gonna be like… “can you send the crane to get this poor gentleman down?” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And we're gonna stop drugs. And we're gonna stop all of the problems that are pouring into our country…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And the Pope was terrific. But he heard one side of the story. The following day he couldn't have been nicer. But he heard the officials from Mexico, who I respect! They’re smarter, and they're sharper than our leader, if you call him a leader. I don't call him a leader. But…he calls in…you know, he calls in Iran; he said, “I spoke with the supreme leader”. Give me a break. “The supreme lader”. He's not the supreme leader for us, I can tell you that.
But…but, if you look at it, we're gonna have a wall. And it's gonna be a great wall. And it's gonna work: You know, if you look at the kind of damage being done to this country between the crime and the drugs that are pouring in…? And the economic development, by the way! Because they're taking jobs of American…citizens.
Now, when we need extra people? We’ll work it out where they come in, [and] they go back! They come in, they go back! The grape industry is an example. I don't wanna hurt an industry! We're gonna make…our businesses stronger, better than ever. We're lowering taxes for business. Big league! We're gonna make us…; you know, we pay the highest taxes in the world. I don't know if you know that.
Pfizer is leaving our country now, because the taxes are so high. And because they can't get their money! They have billions of dollars off shore. We have 2.5 trillion dollars…in different countries. Our country we…our countries…I mean, we can't get it! All these countries have our money…!
Now, the Democrats agree that it should come back. The Republicans agree that it should come back. We have a leader that can't put them into a room, and…“let's make a deal”, right? Do you know how easy that is?
So, companies are leaving for taxes…! They're also leaving for something that never happened! They're leaving to get their money because they can't bring their money back into the country! And to have that money back in is so good. It's so good! They'll use it for things! They'll do things!  They'll set up new companies! They'll do it! Two and a half trillion. I happen to think it's double that number. The government's reporting two and a half…; do you know how much two and a half trillion is?
And Carl Icahn, who endorsed me, [a] great business leader. And many of the business leaders! We're gonna have them negotiating our trade deals. Because our trade deals are a disaster! Our trade deals…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…our trade deals are a disaster!
What's going on with trade is so sad, when you look at it. China…! We have a trade deficit with China of 500…billion…dollars…a year! 500…billion…dollars! And they treat us like…they they don't have any respect for us! None. And they come to the country and Obama gives them a state dinner. I'm not doing state dinners for these people. I'm doing state dinners…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…for people that treat us properly.
Now, they're building in the South China Sea…they're building a massive…a massive military fort! With landing strips, and everything else. [A] total violation of everything! [They’re] not supposed to be doing it! They have no respect for our president. They have really no respect for our country anymore. And I like the Chinese. Look! The biggest bank of the world is my tenant, in New York, all right? The…I sold millions, and tens of millions of dollars worth of condos to…Chinese people!
I owned the Bank Of America building, a big chunk of it…a big, big chunk…in San Francisco. 1290 Avenue Of The Americas in Manhattan. [I] got it through Chinese! I mean, the Chinese are fine! But they can't even believe…! I have a lot of friends from China. They actually said to me, “we can't believe we get away with it”. They devalue their currency…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. They say it! Now, they never thought I'd be running for president, you know, so…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. They tell me! They…they had no idea this was gonna happen. But they used to say [that]! Now, they say, “oh, oh!”. You know, they come up…[with] lots of things.
By the way, there has never been, in the history of the world, a greater theft than what China did to the United States. We have rebuilt China. They have taken our jobs…; they've taken our base…; they've taken our money…; they've taken everything! They have drained us.
If you look at the millions of jobs…; the thousands of plants that have been closed! Thousands! Thousands of plants have been closed. And you wanna do business in China You can’t! You try sending something into China, you're gonna sell…;
I have a friend who's a manufacturer's. He’s great. [He’s] Really good. He said it's impossible to get his product in China, and [if] he does, they charge him tax! Now, when they send their product here, there's no tax. “Come on in, we’re the stupid people. Come on in, sell whatever you want”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Right?
And then I'll have people like…some of these so-called conservatives. I'm conservative, folks, just so you know. But…I…I call these people ‘the stupid conservatives’.
They'll say, “Donald Trump is not a true conservative, because he wants to charge tax…to somebody…selling their goods in”. They don't say that the other side is doing it. Okay? Because I am a free trader. I believe in free trade. But it has to be smart trade! It can't be rip off trade! [It] has to be smart! So…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…it's gotta go,  basically, simply, it's gotta go two ways. [It] gotta be good. When we lose 500 billion dollars a year…with one country! Okay!?
Now you talk Japan. They send their cars in. By the millions! The cars come pouring in. We send them…practically nothing. We send them beef. Beef! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And they don't want it, because their farmers don't want it. I understand that. And you know the story: so they send it back. Then we send it there. But…by the time…they get it back to Japan, after three or four times, it's so rotted, and so disgusting that they call it Kobe beef and they charge ten times more, because they’re smart…! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. It’s true! Did you ever go for Kobe beef? It's like 10 times more expensive! And all it is is the rotten beef, which they wouldn't take! It kept going back and forth…! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. They don't want our product! They don't want our product.[MOU2] 
And I have the greatest business leaders in the world! Now, Vietnam is very…acting very big. India is doing a great job for themselves. They’re not…you know, helping us much. And…I love India! We're building two beautiful buildings in India. We have…we’re building buildings all over the world! But you know what? If this ever happens, I wouldn't…I couldn't care less for the company. I'll let Ivanka and the kids run it. I have executives that will run it. It'll be fine. I couldn't care less. I care about one thing, making America great again. That's all I care. It's all I care…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And by the way, speaking of that. Something that I don't get credit for…and I should get credit! Uh…and [it] was covered so inaccurately by The New York Times. They said…The Times. The stupid newspaper. They're so stupid! They're so vicious! They said, “Donald Trump…is not getting money from Wall Street! We checked Wall Street…”.[MOU3] 
I don't accept money from Wall Street! I can't get money from Wall Street! I'm self-funding my campaign! Other than the little contribution…-THE CROWD CHEERS. But they write…they write an article, they…it…and they’re saying…; they know what they're doing.
They’re saying, “Donald Trump, we checked, gets no money from Wall Street”.
Well, that's a good thing, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. But the reason is…and by the way, if I wanted to get money from Wall Street…? I would have a fund…; Jeb Bush had the biggest fund 148 million. You could double it, quadruple it…; I would have a fund in two weeks, that would be bigger than any fund, ever set up for anybody running office. I don't take! I'm not doing it! Other than the little contributions that people can put. Because, frankly, by the time you send them back…it's too much. And, what they do is they send in…it's love. That is love. Those people…they love our movement. And you can't…; there's no way you can send a woman…her 17 dollars and 50 cents back, who writes a four-page letter, with the…; seriously! There's no way you can send it back nicely!
But, we are self-funding our campaign. I'm not taking money from Wall Street. I'm not taking money from anybody. That's it. Other than the little contributions. And…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And I'll tell you…I’ll be honest with you. I'll be honest with you. I don't get credit. I mean, even the stupid New York Times writes about…you know, “Trump isn’t taking money from Wall Street”. I'm…I…they actually say [that] Wall Street is like giving me money. I could get…I could get…I could make three phone calls, [and] have so much money…! But I'm not taking it. I'll tell you. When you go to the voter booth, I hope you remember that. Because I don't think I get any credit for it. I'm spending millions of dollars.
Now, here's the good news. I've spent less…than any of the other…you know, major candidates. Some some people are just playing games, okay? But I spent less than any of the other candidates, and…I'm number one. Other people…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…other people have spent like a 140, 150 million dollars, and they're down at the bottom of the pack. So I spent less and my result is by far…I’m number one by a lot, actually! It's not even close…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. Wouldn't it be good to have a president that could spend less and be number one? Wouldn’t that be a good thing? Wouldn’t that be good? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS It’d be so good! It would be so good!
And that's what's going to happen. You know, in education, [among] the top thirty countries, we’re number 30 in the world. Okay? We're number 30 in the world. You have countries that you never even heard of that are doing better than us. But when number one in the world in cost per pupil. And number two is so far back [that] you don't even call it number two. So we’re number one in the world in cost per pupil, and we’re number thirty. We’re at the bottom of the pack.
You have Norway…! Sweden…! Denmark…! China…! [And] many other countries. We're number 30. Wouldn't it be nice if we could change that, so that we…even if we're not in the top five! Where we spend less money…; which by the way, getting rid of Common Core will save a tremendous amount of money…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And you'll have better education! You'll have better education.
Another thing we're gonna do is we're gonna protect! Really protect your Second Amendment, okay? And you have…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Just so you know, there's a result on the Second Amendment. And there's a result on Christianity, folks. Just…believe me…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
We are being assaulted. And…there's a result. We've had tremendous backing…uh…Jerry Falwell Jr. Uh…reverend and pastor Jeffress, who's great. He's on television all the time. He said, “you know…”…he's got a better way of saying it than this, but…I'll sort of…paraphrase it. He says, “you know, Donald Trump may not be perfect. But the Evangelicals, Christians, they really want protection. And he's the best for that. They want leadership. And he's the best for that…”…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. By the way, I happen to be Protestant, just in case there was any question. But…Presbyterian to be exact. Any Presbyterians in the audience? Any Presbyterians? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. That's good. [There] aren't too many…you know, uh…not too many left! I don't know…! Where are…where are my Presbyterians!? Okay!?
But…it…Jeffress. Pastor Jeffress is a great guy. And I never met him when he was doing this! But he'd say [that]. The evangelicals are very, very smart people. And you know, they had a choice, years ago.
And I'll…I’ll tell you, Jerry Falwell says this, that his father, who was an incredible guy…he said…the…greatest compliment. He said, “Donald Trump reminds me…so much of my father”. What they built with Liberty University is incredible. And he said, “you know, my father took a lot of heat years ago. Because…he wouldn't back Jimmy Carter, who could quote every verse in the Bible; but, he did back Ronald Reagan very strongly, who couldn't do that, but he ended up being a great and strong president”…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And he said, “that's what we want. That's what we want”.
So, I mean, having their backing is great. Having Sarah Palin's backing is…is fantastic. She's been so great…-THE CROWD CHEERS. She's been so great.
And you know, uh…we have the backing of a…a very tough man on the border, right Sheriff Joe? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. When Sheriff Joe backs you, you immediately know you have won the fight on the border. That I can tell you…-THE CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS. Nobody tougher than Sheriff Joe.
But we've gotta be tough! We've gotta be smart!
When I went down on June 16th; I came down the escalator, which takes guts. Believe me. It was…a a…rough thing. To…to…consider doing this…was rough. Cause you don't know [if] you're gonna make a fool out of yourself…? You've never done it before. I've never been a politician. I've been a jobs producer. I will be, by the way, the greatest…jobs…producing…president that God…ever…created. That I can tell you…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I will produce jobs. We're gonna bring our jobs back from China. We're gonna bring our jobs back from all these places that have been taking our jobs…!
We are gonna bring them back from Mexico. Mexico…again, I don't blame the Mexican…leadership. At all. Although there was one gentleman…; he…you know the story. He gave a news conference, saying… “we will not…pay…for the wall!”. Right? He said that!
I said, “nobody asked him!”. Who asked him? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Right? It's Calderon! Calderon. [I] Don't know him. [I] never met him.
He said, “please tell Mr. Trump [that] we will not pay for the wall”.
Just so you understand: we had a trade deficit last year, with Mexico, [of] 58…billion dollars. The wall’s gonna cost 10 to 12 billion. Peanuts! They will pay for the wall.
You know, these politicians come up to me, and they say, “you really can't build a wall!”. This was a while ago. They said, “you really can't build a wall!”.
I said, “of course you can!”. The Great Wall of China, 13,000 miles. We need a thousand, right? So they come up.
Then all of a sudden, last week, my wife comes up to me. She said, “darling, I won't…; I don't believe it. Ted Cruz's on television. He said, ‘we will build a wall!’”, okay? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And now another one came out, “we will build a wall”. It's amazing the way I can talk people into things, right? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. “We will build a wall”. And she was shocked, because…-THE CROWD CHEERS. No, no! I was the only one…;
And you remember the abuse!? “You can’t build a wall!”.
And every time I think about that, I think about 2,000 years ago. China, 13,000 miles. We need 1,000. It's actually two thousand miles, but we have natural barriers, natural buffers, and…things that…we’d do a very good job, okay? Now it…it might make it a little longer. We're gonna make…; this is gonna be impenetrable. Unless you come in legally, in which case it's gonna be fun.
But Calderon …! So he has a news conference. And he said, “we will not pay for the wall!”…-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘TAX HIM!’. We’ll tax…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.  “We will not pay for the wall!”.
So that newspaper…one of the people is here. And they call me up, “could we have a comment? Calderon, [the] former president…Calderon said…Mexico will not pay for the wall. Could we have your comment?”.
I said, “yes, the wall just got 10 feet higher”…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s true. It’s true! Look. Look. In all fairness, we’ll end up having a very good relationship with…uh…with Mexico. We’re gonna end up…to be fine with Mexico. But…they’re taking advantage of us. Everybody's taking advantage of us! We have incompetent leadership. We have incompetent people.
This morning I watched President Obama talking about Gitmo, right? Guantanamo Bay. Which by the way…-THE CROWD BOOS-…which by the way, we are keeping open. Which we are keeping open…-THE CROWD CHEERS. And we're gonna load it up with some bad dudes. Believe me. We're gonna load it up…-THE CROWD CHEERS.
But here's the thing I didn't understand. I heard this, but…I didn't understand it. We spent 40 million dollars a month on…maintaining…this…place. Now, think of it: 40…million …dollars…a month! I think we have…what do we have left in there? Like 100 people or something? So we're spending 40 million dollars…; I would guarantee you that I could do it for…a tiny, tiny, fraction. I don't mean like 39! I mean like…maybe…five!? Maybe…three!? Maybe…like peanuts!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. Maybe in our deal with Cuba we get them to take it over, and take a…and…and reimburse us? Cause we're…cause we're probably paying rent.
You know, like Saudi Arabia. We're gonna keep it open, by the way. We're gonna get the cost down, because that's ridiculous, to pay 40…; but these are politicians! These are politicians! I mean, these are just politicians. They don't know anything about dollars! They never employed anybody! A guy like Ted Cruz, he has no clue! He never employed anybody! He's a nasty, nasty guy…; he's a liar…; and he never employed anybody! That's a bad combination, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
I mean, I don't know. I'm…hey, look! I…I told you. I'm leading in Ohio. I'm leading in Florida. But I'd like to really win in Texas! Wouldn’t that be great!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.  I love Texas. I love Texas! And I think now that he's exposed himself as a nasty person, who lies a lot…I think he's gonna go way, way down in Texas. So I think we have a shot in Texas. But he does commercials on me.
I have one here…where…something to do with federal lands and, “Donald Trump supports the federal government, and the lands…! …and…”; I don't even know what the hell they're talking about! …-THE CROW LAUGHS. I mean, I don't even know! It's his commercial…and it's put out by him! And I don't even know what they're talking about! And I've seen like five times! I'm saying, “I hope people aren't swayed”, because he lies! He's had to take down numerous commercials!
The other day, during the vote…right? …in South Carolina; it's the morning of the election. The morning. A beautiful day. I love the place. I love those people. And I think I’m gonna win. I think I’m doing well. Wall Street Journal put out a totally dishonest poll. [A] totally phony poll, in my opinion. I mean, in my opinion! Cause it gave us a little bit of a scare, because they took me way, way down from what it was. And then when you looked at it, it was impossible.

They said, “this is a poll of very, very, very, very conservative people”. Well, what about liberal people? What about other people? They don't vote?
So I saw this poll come out, where I went down to like two or three points, and you know, that's a little scary, cause everyone's thinking I'm gonna win. It was a real hit job. And then the story was even nastier: “Donald Trump…!”.
It’s funny. I had a really good Wall Street Journal poll about a month ago…? I couldn't find it! It was…way back in the paper, and…I couldn't find it! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. To this day, I never found it. Right?
Now, they have this bad poll…which I was still leading! But leading by like…a little slice. Front page of The Wall Street Journal. [The] front page, the poll: “Trump doing badly”. The next day I had another one on a national: “Trump doing…”. [Did] you see my national polls!? They’re going through the roof! All over! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But the newspapers, they’re dishonest newspapers. They're dishonest. The Times I’ve…I think The Times is the most incompetently run. That's why they're losing their shirts. [The] Wall Street Journal, [a] very dishonest…; these are dishonest people, in my opinion. And we have to…; I'll tell you what. It's amazing! You’d think the media…you have…I think it has a lower rating than Congress, which is hard to believe…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Because I’m…I’m…honestly, you get these people better than anybody. I tell people how smart…;
You know, when I want in New Hampshire, they did a poll. And they did the same poll…right? They did the same poll…in South Carolina! [It] was sort of like a similar poll! And it was, “what do you think of…this?”; “what…?”. I won with every single category. I won with the women…; I won with the men…; I won with…highly educated. I won with less than highly educated, because I'm being very nice. Okay? I love those people. They’re my people! I love them! But I won with less than highly [educated]. I won with every single…; I won with Evangelicals! The Evangelicals! I won with evangelicals! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
Cruz was supposed to win…South Carolina, because it was very heavy with evangelical. So he was supposed to win. It was supposed to be his…they called his bridgewater’. His…his…strong point. And I went in, and…right from the beginning! I knew I could do well there, cause the people are incredible. And I spoke to him. And they got it! You know, they really got it! They got rid of this guy. He came in third place! I mean, it was incredible! But he's a bad guy! And they came…he came in third place. [Do] you know what a great honor that is? To knock off bad people? I love doing that! I love doing it! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But, think of this. So in the morning of the election, I get a call from my people, “Mr. Trump, I'm sorry to…”…the morning of the election. I've been working really hard. I was there for a month. I'm making speech after speech…; I can't stand it anymore…; and, I figured, “oh, now it's election day. We're gonna take it a little easy…”.
I get a call at nine o'clock in the morning. Earlier. And they said, “Mr. Trump, somebody just did a robocall. And it's really bad!”.
I said, “really!? What is it?”.
“It's about the Confederate flag”.
What do I have to do with the Confederate flag? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
“Well, you said something to somebody…; long time ago, about…”; it was fine, you know? About…you know, being in the museum. And you know, it was a very controversial subject.
So he took a…a thing…and they made it into commercial. He said…it wasn't him! It wasn't him! [It] turned out to be his campaign manager, okay? Oh, it wasn't him!
Then he did another one about gay marriage. Okay? It's fine! [He] did another one about gay marriage. Uh…and he puts it on. I get a call, 12 o'clock.
So now I have wo robocalls. Nasty, nasty, vicious robocalls. And I said, “man! I'm gonna lose! I'm gonna lose here! I'm gonna lose in South Carolina! These robocalls are terrible!”. And we…we won in a landslide! And you…we won in a landslide! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I mean, it's so…it's so beautiful! The truth is you're really smart people. And I have to tell you. You know, for a while they were saying, “Trump’s people are the most loyal”, which is true. That everybody…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…no, no…; even the really dishonest press! Even the…the…uh…I was…I was gonna say a  word…I won't say it, okay? Even the really dishonest press...says Trump's people are…the most…incredible. I mean, I had a rating…68 percent would not leave under any circumstances! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I think that means murder…; I think it means…anything! Okay?
And the rest, well…I…I think I get up to 92, which was like ‘we'll probably never leave’. You know, like these incredible…; other guys are [at] ten percent. I mean, they'll leave if you…if you sneeze, they’ll leave. They don't like the way you sneeze.
My people…? I love you people! Look at you! I love you! I love you! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUIDS. My people are the most loyal.
But you know, they like to say though…I…I see it all the time on television, cause let me tell you: you’re smart! They like to say…they, “well, you know, Trump has a very uneducated…it’s…”. Let me tell you…-THE CROWD BOOS-…no, no, it's all…; I won with…the smartest…; I won with the most educated…; I won with the smartest…; I won with people that are smarter than anybody, but they don't have the big education…; my people are the smartest people. Believe me! The smartest! Because they get it! They get the total dishonesty. They fully understand it. And we really…; we won with everything! But we have the smartest people! Remember that, folks. We have the smartest people …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
They…they like to say that…because they think maybe that's a negative…; just like these cameras!...-MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE BACK, WHERE THE CAMERAS ARE. They'll never show that corner of the room. They're never gonna show this room. They're never gonna show this room. I mean…-THE CROWD BOOS-…no, they're never gonna show it. They won't do it. They won’t do it. I've been working on them…; that's why I love protesters. Because the only time they move is for a protester, cause they think that's negative.
You know, last night., while…what? ‘Can't stop the Trump’, you’re right…-MR- TRUMP RECASTS SOMETHING A MEMBER IN THE CROWD HAS YELLED. [They] Can’t stop tnhis crowd. [They] Can’t stop this crowd…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, when I first started with the speeches and the crowds got bigger, and bigger, and bigger…; it's word of mouth., and…the movement started. And now they're talking about it. They say…I get a call from a very important writer. [The] most important. [They] happens to be liberal. And he calls me and he said, “how does it feel?”.
I said, “how does what feel?”.
“How does it feel? What you've done has never, ever, ever been done before”.
I say, [it] doesn't feel at all! If I don't win it's a waste of time!”. And I’m not talking about winning primaries, getting to be…the nominee…; I'm talking about winning against Hillary or whoever we're gonna be fighting…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And this reporter…; and he said it with respect. He says, “no, no, no. It doesn't matter whether you win or not. What you've done has never, ever been done in the history of politics”.
And I said, “maybe so, and maybe not. But…to make our country great again, we have to win. And we have to be able to do all these things”. So, that's the way I do it…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean I view it.
It was actually a very complimentary call. By the time I finished with him, he never wrote the story, because, you know, it's interesting, cause I was so negative on it, cuz I really believe that. I could have had a nice story about. It doesn't matter.
But you do have to get Time magazine because they talk about the movement. They talk about what's happening. They talk about it in the most glowing terms…; and they talk about it in the most sophisticated terms. They talk about we’re the internet compared to a store. Like Macy's, which was extremely disloyal to me, by the way. Very disloyal. Don't shop at Macy's…-THE CROWD  BOOS.
You know, when I went out…when I went out, [a] good friend of mine …[he was] a good friend of mine. When…he ran Macy’s. When I went out, and this was sort of…crazy. Uh…and I said, “we have to stop illegal immigration…”. I started doing the whole thing. [It] turned out I was right. But it took three or four years…three or four weeks for people to realize it. But when I went out, I got a call from Macy's! And they said, “you know, uh…this is a very controversial position”. Now, look: it was peanuts. I'm selling…shelling…like…what? Shirts and ties. It's not a lot. [It’s] not a big deal. And the ties were made in china, so…I didn't even care, to be honest with you…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. You know, I was probably gonna have to get away from that one pretty soon anyway, if you wanna know the truth…-THE CROWD MUTTERS.
But…but, they came out and they said, “Donald, this is very, very controversial. We're going to have pickets coming. Hispanics”. By the way, I think I'm gonna win the Hispanic vote. [Do] you know…do you know…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…in the state of Nevada…you saw it the other day. I win with Hispanics! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUIDS. I win with Hispanics!
First of all, they're here legally, and they don't want their jobs taken away from them. And second of all, and importantly, they know I'm gonna bring jobs in! They know I’m gonna take jobs away from Mexico and China, and all these places.
But they said, “we're going to have pickets in front of Macy's”.
I said, “so what? Have pickets! I have pickets all the time!” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I have pickets. And here's what happens: they'll picket for 20 minutes and then they wanna go get lunch, and they'll never show up again…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
He said, “no, no, no! Well, this is terrible! We're gonna…!”.
And that's what happened! They showed up for about two seconds…; but in the meantime they said, “can we do this?”.
So I said….just very disloyal people. Just remember that. Very disloyal. I don't…used…I don't shop at Macy's too much anyway. But…uh…don't jump at Macy's. Don't shop…-THE CROWD CHEERS. You know what? Because in my opinion, they don't have…the best…interests…of our country…in mind. That's what I say…-THE CROWD CHEERS. They're more interested in being politically correct. And political correctness…political correctness is killing this country: Remember that! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. It's killing this country.[MOU4] 
So, and I told you before about Christianity? We are going to be saying, at Christmas, very soon after I get in, we're gonna be saying ‘Merry Christmas’ again…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We don't say it anymore! ‘Merry Christmas’ again.
When I made this statement, and it…had to be made. And I've had so many friends that were…Muslims…calling me up, saying, “Donald…”, they…not all of them called me, but some called me. Some very, very successful ones called me. They said, “Donald, you've done us all a big favor, cause it's something that has to be talked about”. There's something going on, folks! And when I said [that] we have to have a temporary ban, it was so important.
Now, nobody else is gonna say that! And I knew it was gonna be a rough thing to say. But there's something going on, folks! When you're flying planes into the World Trade Center…; when you're killing the 14 people in California…; when Paris happens, where…you shoot a 130 people, and you have many, many people dying in hospitals. It was so…tragic. You’ve people so mortally wounded.
By the way! The toughest gun laws…anywhere in the world are Paris and France. Okay!? They had no guns in the other side. If a few of you, characters, were in that room, and you had your gun…along your ankle or along your waist…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…[it] would have been a whole…different…story! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [It] would have been a whole different story! Believe me! [It] would have been a whole different deal!
I tell my friends. You know, these guys, they wanna take away the Second Amendment. You have a couple of people…like Hillary Clinton. She wants to destroy the Second Amendment…-THE CROWD BOOS-…no, she does! A really bad issue for her, but she wants to destroy the Second Amendment!
When I negotiate and debate with people, especially from New York, because they all they, “oh! get rid of guns. Get rid of guns”. When I talked to them about it, in front of people…! I like to debate them. I like it! Cause that's a debate you can't lose. And I say, very simply: “if we had guns, on the other way, where the bullets are flying in both directions. This is…”…you know, like…not just one direction: The bullets now are flying…flying in two directions: boom! Boom! You know what's gonna happen? They lose that debate…every…single…time! Every…single…time.
I called them up the next day. They say… “do you agree?”. Right? “Do you agree?”.
They say, “meh, nah, I don’t…”. They can’t win that debate.
So we're gonna protect our Second Amendment. We're gonna be safe. We're gonna be happy. And nobody is going to mess around with it. Nobody…whatsoever. Remember that. Just remember that…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, the other day something very bad happened. And…its peanuts compared to others, but…it…was very bad to me. It hit a nerve, because I buy the product, right? I buy it. You know what it is. Come on… Carrier, right? I buy Carrier air-conditioners. I buy a lot of air-conditioners. Now I buy Trane, because…you know, I like them when they’re made in this country.
But, the other day, it was announced, very, very strongly…it was announced, that…Carrier is leaving for Mexico. 1,400 jobs. And somebody had one of the cell phones going. And they have it going as this…executive is saying, “we're closing our shop. We're moving to Mexico”.
And I said to myself, that was sad. It was sad to watch it. And these people will never get jobs like this. They'll never get jobs like this. This is…[they] were there for many, many years. They do a great job. [They] make a good product. They're going out. They're gonna move. They’re just closing up1 And they're gonna move…to Mexico! And other people are also moving from United technologies. They're gonna move a lot of businesses to Mexico.
I said to myself, you know…like I was a really…good…student. I went to the best school. The Wharton School of Finance. And…whether you went to Wharton, or whether you went to high school, or whether you didn't go to high school…believe me, there's nothing good coming out of these trade deals we have. There's nothing good!
So they're gonna now…move, and they're gonna make…air-conditioners. Here's what's gonna do. The…people running against me, and all of the people in Congress. Senators, everywhere…; they all have special interests, and lobbyists, and everything else…; in fact, you have lobbyists…it says on their names. The head. Uh…“I represent Ted Cruz!”. “I represent this one and that one”. In all fairness, Jeb had…Woody Johnson of Johnson & Johnson as his top fundraiser. [As] his top campaign finance chairman, right? Woody Johnson. [A] pharmaceutical. Okay.
Now, do you really think…that…Jeb or anybody else…; and I'm…talking about Jeb…with respect. Do you really think that Jeb, or anybody else; or Ted Cruz, who's representing a lot having to do with oil, and everything…; these people are all controlled! And I know many of the lobbyists! And they literally work individual people. You have…lobbyists that are good for three people. That's all they do! They focus on them! They take them out to dinner...! They help them…! They raised a lot of money for them…!
And when there's a problem, you call X lobbyist, who is good for x-senator. Okay? Whether it's Marco…; whether it's Ted…; whether it's anybody up here! That's the way the game works! I mean, who knows the game better than me!? You know, I was a very establishment guy nine months ago” And then what I decided to do this, they went crazy. They said, “what's Donald doing!? He was one of us!”.
Well, I know the system better than anybody! And I know half of the people! You know, in the last debate, I look…[the] last two debates! I looked in the room, I saw all people I know! They’re all lobbyists! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. And when I said something good…and they say I won those debates, by the way. Almost everybody…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But it's tougher! You say something great, and you hear like nothing.
Then somebody else gets up and makes a fool out of himself, [and] he gets a standing ovation. You tell me that's easy, right? And they were given out by people. It's a disgrace.
But again, I'm self-funding. So I didn't have anybody. I had my family in the room. So I'd hear my son, “hey…!”…-MR. TRUMP PRETENDS HE APPLAUDS. THE CROWD LAUGHS. I have one son who's much more vocal. And I hear it. Eric. And he was screaming. He was going, “woah!”. But it's one person. We can't…you know, it's not like a…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…it's not like 2,000 people. But we have to change our system, folks! And we have to….we have to do it. And we have to get it done. And we have to get it done fast.
Here's the story. The pharmaceutical…“term limits is fine”…-MR. TRUMP RECASTS SOMETHING SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD HAS YELLED-…the pharmaceutical…; I mean, you know, in theory term limits…I'm fine with term limits. But in…theory, you people are the term limits. It's called…; if somebody does a bad job. you vote against, I mean, you get them out! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But we're that's hard, in all fairness, is when…you know, pharmaceuticals gives guys millions of dollars. And other…and lumber, and electric…; they have everything! It…it makes it hard. But I'll give you an example. A friend of mine who's a doctor tells me that the drug industry doesn't bid out drugs. I said, “you have to be kidding. It can't be possible”.
Then about two seconds I said, “oh, I know why. Because these guys are all…taken care of by the drug industry”.
Do you know…we don't bid out…drugs! We’re the largest purchaser of drugs…to make you better. Drugs to make you better. We’re the largest purchaser in the world. We don't bid it out! This legislation doesn't let us bid it out.
So, when you go to the drugstore and buy something, you're paying a similar price that the United States of America is paying, and they buy…billions and billions of drugs. If we bid it out, we could save over 300 billion dollars a year!
So, when Woody Johnson, who’s a nice guy! He has great real estate. He bought an apartment on one of my buildings, right? So when Woody Johnson, and all these people…when they come to me and they say, “Donald, we’d would like to see you”. I…they didn't give me anything! I don't want anything! I don't want…! It's so important what I'm telling you. Because they have total control over these people. 300…billion…dollars. I mean, think of it! [Can] you…you believe the kind of numbers we're talking about!?
Now, multiply that times many times. Because in our military, and you seen it, and I've seen it ever since I've been a young guy. You have people…buying…I'm still young. I feel young! I’ll tell you! I feel young! I feel better…than ever! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Do I have a choice!? Do I have a choice!? No, I feel better than ever! That's very important. My doctor wrote a very strong note. You know, everyone’s saying, “could we have it…?”.
He said, “he's in the best shape of anybody I've ever seen…”. This doctor went a little bit over, but in fact people said, “did you write that letter?”. I mean, that’s…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. No, I feel very good. I have to tell you. And if you don't…and this is what I mean by the energy!
Hillary needs energy cause we have…we have made so many mistakes! We have made such bad deals! We have to correct all of this stuff! Whether it’s on trade; whether it's at war…; military! How often do you see where we're ordering the wrong airplane? We're ordering stuff we don't want…; the reason is that those companies are better politically than the companies whose product we want. Okay? That's that gonna happen anymore, folks! It's not gonna happen!
We're gonna get…I've seen it over the years! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're ordering aircraft that the generals don't want. We're ordering things that the…; we're gonna get this stuff we want! We're gonna make our military so big, and so strong, and so powerful [that]…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…nobody, nobody is gonna mess with us. Nobody!
You know, Hillary Clinton made a statement…not so long ago. And she made another one about four weeks ago about sexist. She…believed me, she had a rough week with her husband…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. The…the last…the last person she wants to run against, by the way, is me.
Chuck Todd a very nice guy, for NBC, he said, “I was told…that Hillary Clinton would most like to run…against Donald Trump”, okay? This was after that big weekend, the bad weekend that they had, right? “And I was told personally that Hillary Clinton would most want to run against Donald Trump. I was told that on good..”.
I called him. I said, “Chuck, let me explain something. Here's the way it works. You know, we're playing chess here…at a high level. When they say…they wanna run against me, that means they don't wanna run against me! Okay? Get it through your head…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDL.Y.
And the Q poll just came out. I beat her. The…USA Today poll just came out. I beat her…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And in all fairness to beating her? I haven't even started on her! The only thing I did…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…I haven't even started!
I mean, look at what we did together, cuz I…I’m…like a messenger. I'm…we're all together, folks. This is our deal. This is our…; Look at what we all did together! I'm not gonna say ‘me’, but I'm the one that gave the message. Look at what we did to various people.
Uh…Governor Walker, a nice guy. [We/I] took him out. Right? He was leading…he was gonna win. He was gonna win.
[MOU5] Uh…the governor from…as you know, Texas, [a] nice guy, right? Governor Perry. [A] very nice guy. He made nasty statements about me! And then I challenged his IQ, which, was a nice thing to do…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And I challenged his glasses. What the hell are you wearing glasses for all of us? I said, the glasses aren't working…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. And the only reason I do this is they all went to other people. They’re baking other people. So it's [a] fair game. Do you agree with that? If they…-THE CROWD CHEERS.
And…and I have to say! Many people have called me, and they wanna back me. I find endorsements very unimportant. I really do. I…I do like having Sheriff Joe. I do love having Sarah. I do like having…no…I…I really love having, as you know, Jerry Falwell. I think he helped me a lot with Evangelicals, right? In South Carolina. I think he helped me. I love having…uh…pastor…Jeffress…;
But I find that…there are a lot of work. I have some people…that gave me…a…a…you know, endorsement. And they have such work! They call every day, “Uh…I think you should say it a little differently. May I come over and talk to you?”.
I said, “I don’t…I don't have time!”. I don't wanna say it differently! I like the way I said it! It seems…it seems to be working! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [MOU6] 
But think of what we have done! So, Walker was gonna win his gun. Uh…Jeb was gonna win! Jeb was gonna win…-THE CROWD BOOS. Hey, Jeb has gone. He forgot three…he forgot three words, according to the…I’ll say it, the New York Times. Three words: Donald John Trump. He forgot…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. He had everything else going...; he had everything going…;
And, the reason I tell you [is that] I did call him to wish him the best. He didn't take my call. That's not nice…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. It…that's not that's not nice, right? That was very insulting, right?
Actually, I was betting. I said 50-50 [that he] doesn't take the call…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. It's not that he didn't take it. I think it was nicer than that. He just didn't call back. Maybe he did [and], we didn't get the return call.
But think of it! Think of it! Jeb's a nice person. He…he really is…-SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP LAUGHS. Ahh…! I have…you know what else I have? I have the toughest people. I have the smartest and I have the toughest…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Think about this clown senator we have: Lindsey Graham…-THE CROWD BOOS. He was so vicious…! He was so…; he went on television, [and] he's shaking! He's shaking! He’s discussing me. He's shaking! Here’s our guy. He's gonna tell us what to do. He's been in there forever. He's gonna tell us how to win the world with ISIS. He is so wrong! It's almost you have to do the opposite of what he's saying to win. He's gonna end up getting us into World War three. He's been there: “I know more than anybody…! I've been doing this for many years!”. That's right! We've been doing it for many years and look where we are! It's worse than ever! It's worse than ever!
I mean, the hatred this guy has!
So he started out at six or seven. He went down to zero. And it…you know in his own state! In his own state. I was at 40…and he was at one! I said, “I don't think I want his endorsement”. Do you agree? …-THE CROWD CHEERS.
He brilliantly endorsed Jeb Bush. A week later, Jeb Bush was out of the race. This is…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…no, no, these are the people we have running our military! He endorsed Jeb Bush! A week later Jeb was gone! This is who's telling us how to beat ISIS! These guys are brilliant guys! They sit there, they watch this, they can't believe it! They can't believe it!
We had a question in the previous debate…about waterboarding. They asked Ted Cruz. He was on my left. Right? I've been in the middle…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…I didn't hear that! I didn't hear it! I didn't hear it! But it could have been fouled, so I just wanna…I'm doing this for the press! Anybody that says something like that, I will reprimand them! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Who said it!? I didn't say anything! You are reprimanded…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Okay. That’s a very light reprimand. I didn't say it!
They'll say now…; remember when somebody in New Hampshire shouted out something about Obama? And it…; and they thought I was supposed to defend him; and it went a whole thing, and…; I went like…because I didn't say anything! I said, “I didn't do anything!”. So if I don't do anything, they go after me. If I do something, then we have to…; so I'm reprimanding you, sir…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Officially! That's official! But, okay.
So listen, let's go over a few of these guys, right? So you had Perry, he’s gone so. And every one of them who attacked me…everyone…; and now the…I've…I’m watching television, [and] it’s sort of weird. I'm watching CNN; I'm watching Fox; I’m watching MSNBC…they've been treating me really great! I gotta say it! I guess…their ratings go very good when they put me in, so…; but…but I have to tell you. So I'm watching, and they're saying, “they're afraid to attack Donald Trump! They're afraid! He has made mincemeat out of everybody that's attacked him! He has absolutely destroyed everybody!”…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. “It's been horrible! It's horrible! What he did to Jeb Bush…! What he did to…Governor Perry…! What he did to all of these people…! They're all afraid of him!”. And I said to myself, isn't that the kind of guy we want for president? Right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Right? Right? I don’t know!
So I've hit…I've hit…uh…Ted…Cruz very hard, because, you know, I just can't stand liars. But I haven't hit Rubio, because he's been so nice. He's probably the smart one, right? I can't…you know, I tell everybody. I like…I like counterpunching, because I'm basically a fair person. So I like…counterpunching. And…the counter punching is fun. I'd rather go in early and boom! You know, militarily…we have to do something. But, you…we’re gonna get rid of ISIS so fast folks…boom! Boom! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But, but…Marco Rubio is a nice, young man. But…right? [A] nice, young men. I can't hit him! No! He hasn't hit me! No, no! He has not hit me, [so] I'm treating him nicely. When he hits me…oh, is he gonna be hit! Actually, I can't wait.
You know, I said that about Cruz. We were both being very nice. And he was being very nice. And then all of a sudden you said something a little off color and I said, “well, thank goodness. It's time!”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And he lost the evangelicals! Right? In South Carolina! He lost the Evangelicals! And I'm leading with evangelicals nationwide! So anyway.
So, we'll see what happens with Marco. I mean, at some point he may get nasty, in which case, you know, fine. And I hope he does, because it's more fun. Right? Isn’t it more…? –THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUIDS. But he's been very nice. Okay.
So, look. Here's the deal. We…have…a mission. We have…a mission. It's so important. You have to, today at five-thirty, you have to get over there. No matter what you're doing. And…and I'm not gonna be Cute. You know, a lot of times I'll say, “if your wife left you. [If] you're dying. If you're feeling horrible…”. I'm not…gonna play games. I'm serious. You have to get out. You have to go caucus. And to put it in…our language, you have to go vote, essentially. Okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You have to go. Keep your eyes out for dishonest stuff. Report it to the police if you see anything, cause the police are great. And the police love Trump. I have so many endorsements…-THE CRTOWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…even the guys outside. Where are the police? They love Trump. And I love the police. The police are treated not fairly, folks. You'll have one bad act out of millions of accident, [and it] ends up being on network television for…two weeks. The police, we…we…really have to pay them thanks. They have been amazing.
But report them…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. If you see something going on that's fishy, with the paper ballots, report them to the police, and…they'll take care of it. Believe me.
But I just wanna thank everybody. We're gonna do something that's so great. We're gonna start winning again. We're gonna win on trade. We're gonna win with the military. We're gonna knock ISIS…out ISIS fast.  We're gonna win at the border. We're gonna win in so many different way. We're gonna win with education. We're gonna win with healthcare. We're gonna knock out Obamacare. We're gonna come up with something so much better, so much less expensive. You're gonna be so proud of it. You're not gonna be giving it up. You're gonna be rushing to get it. We are going to do…so well . And we're gonna win, win, win again. And we're gonna make America great.
So get out there today…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I love you! I love you, folks! I love you! Thank you!
